From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.5 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/0 Description of problem: I can't use the distributed version of auth_ldap to connect to an ldap server that only supports ldaps. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): auth_ldap-1.6.0-4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Try using the authldapurl of ldaps://somehost.com Actual Results: It reports invalid ldap url. Expected Results: It should have connected to the ldapserver on the ldaps port. Additional info: I've seen several requests for this feature on the auth_ldap mailing list, and sent in a patch to the owner, in fact from the mailing list, it looks like several people have written this same patch, but apparently he does not want to add it, so maybe I can make my plea to have it added in here.
Created attachment 90557 [details] Patch to support ldaps with openldap.
