Fwiw, I routinely test with a localhost cert, and this check has never
tripped for me. But my ldap_int_hostname is also "localhost" - apparently
something on your system insists that your hostname is "u16build".
One of the main tenants of the test suite is that it be portable. I think
mandating that anyone who wants to run the test suite must use a host with
a hostname set to "localhost" is untennable. Because of this bug, the test
suite will have to have a dependency on the "openssl" command line binary
so that it can generate certs based on the hostname of the system where it
is being run. Without this problematic code, we could simple check in
pre-generated certs, removing that dependency.
I do not see anything that indicates the check is actually valid, and
unfortunately the commit message makes no reference to any ITS or other
issue it supposedly fixes.
