I took over a service using the Perl NET::LDAPapi. Now I fail to

supported and if so, how I've to setup that?
Yes, it's fully supported and has been as long as I've used it (about 2
decades now). For ldaps:// connections, you need to pass in an
ldaps:/// URI. It will pull its defaults for TLS like any other
libldap linked ldap application.
Hello,
thanks Quanah, for that clarification. I only found [1] that promise
TLS-Support when build with a "Mozilla SDK" I also checked I used
ldaps:/// (with three /). LDAPTLS_CACERT was also set, as Michael
suggested.
ldaps:/// wouldn't be valid by itself, unless you were connecting to the
localhost.
I.e., ldaps://my.domain.com:636/ would be valid (or just
ldaps://my.domain.com/ if listening on 636 by default).
The documentation hasn't been touched in years. I don't think it even
supports compiling against the abandoned mozilla SDK At this point. It
will support whatever support libldap has been compiled with.
The primary reason to use Net::LDAPapi is if speed is a concern, as it is
significantly faster than Net::LDAP. If it isn't of a concern, then
Net::LDAP is fine.
Generally I consider Net::LDAPapi abandonware.
