Re: way to validate server certificate

Hi,

Does openldap provide APIs to do server certificate validation? Can I retrieve the server cert from LDAP connection and do the validation myself or by passing the trusted CA list openldap will do it (in this case, how the hostname matching with the subject DN is performed)?

OpenLDAP libldap does server certificate validation according to RFC2830 and 4513. It would be a mistake to duplicate that functionality and do the validation yourself.

Thanks a lot in advance,
