Thanks for the contribution. I gave a look at it, and seems to be fine, although I need to check something with X.509. I wonder if and how much you tested it, since while playing with it I found what I believe is a severe issue in lutil_str2bin(), which is used also in your code... (see ITS#5699). I also have a concern with respect to the IPR declaration on top of your patch, though. You state:

This patch file is derived from OpenLDAP Software. All of the modifications to OpenLDAP Software represented in the following patch(es) were developed by Luca Tamburo at ICAR, Branch of Naples, Italy. Luca Tamburo has not assigned rights and/or interest in this work to any party. I, Giovanni Schmid, project manager at ICAR, am authorized by Luca Tamburo, my employer, to release this work under the following terms.

It sounds like you are authorizing Giovanni Schmid, project manager at ICAR, to release your work, or something like that? I think you should clarify it a little bit. In any case, I'd leave all issues about IPR to the OpenLDAP foundation; as soon as it's clarified, I'll commit your patch (with some modifications).
