Questions about the status of perLDAP in the mozilla source repository: Is it still being maintained? Will client auth support ever be added? Can we get the documentation fixed for the "certdb" argument to new?
According to http://www.mozilla.org/directory/csdk.html the LDAP C SDK is still being actively maintained. I'm glad to see that! According to http://www.mozilla.org/directory/perldap.html the latest perLDAP code is ~60 days old, suggesting that this code is still being maintained. That's encouraging, if true. But the FAQ is about 5 years old. So, what's the status of perLDAP? http://www.perldap.org/docs/Conn.html#item_new (a.k.a., http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/directory/perldap/Conn.pm#1041 ) says: > new > > This creates and initialized a new LDAP connection and object. The required > arguments are host name, port number, bind DN and the bind password. An > optional argument is a certificate (public key), which causes the LDAP > connection to be established over an SSL channel. It's actually the path name of the directory containing NSS's cert & key DBs. > Currently we do not support Client Authentication, so you still have to > use the simple authentication method (i.e. with a password). LDAP C SDK supports client auth. Will PerLDAP ever do so? -- Nelson B (NSS developer) _______________________________________________ dev-tech-ldap mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-tech-ldap
