Re: TLS hostname check screwed up?

HI!

I'm using libldap of RE24 and have a problem with host name checking when
doing TLS.

OpenLDAP's debug output (real hostname exactly replaced by srv.domain.local):

------------------------------ snip ------------------------------
TLS: hostname (srv.domain.local.) does not match common name in certificate
(srv.domain.local).
------------------------------ snip ------------------------------

Is this because of the trailing dot?

Probably. The RFC requires an exact match, there's no exception for dots.
