I was recently asked if we could use ssl client certs as a 2nd formof authentication with OpenLDAP and didn't know for sure. Is it possible to have OpenLDAP require both a DN/password pair *and* a client ssl cert?
You can make the server require a client cert, but it won't use the certificate identity for anything unless you Bind with SASL/EXTERNAL.

And naturally, if you're using SASL, then the DN/password pair is ignored.
