Yes, I agree with these concerns - especially for OpenLDAP server deploym=
ents.

But there are some advantages using the OS platform's mainstream crypto l=
ib
for libldap to get access to the OS's own keyring (e.g. when using client=
 certs).

E.g. I'd avoid libnss for OpenLDAP servers but PKCS#11 in libnss gives so=
me
better access to smartcards.

On the downside it's a pain to deal with all the LDAP_OPT_X_TLS_* options=

having no or different meaning/features for various crypto libs...

Ciao, Michael.
