if I remove the check against the "localhost" name, things succeed as expected.
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.
Well, technically your certDN is invalid. The cn is supposed to be the FQDN, and in your case it must be "u16build.xxxx.yyy" or somesuch. "subjectAltName" means *alternative* name. It is totally correct for libldap to reject your cert with a hostname mismatch when the cert cn is incorrect.
