Add configuration option to ignore invalid TLS certificates for LDAP start_tls
Closed, WontfixPublic

Description

As far as I could tell it requires a change similar to P1768 (obviously, gated on the configuration option). I could not figure out another way to pass this option.

We're not likely to add this into the upstream. Mostly, we're very allergic to adding configuration options (and plan to remove many this year). It could easily be maintained in a fork or local patch.

I would guess this is not an uncommon setup: many LDAP instances have self-signed certificates. Without this knob many standard LDAP setups would not work.

Would love to see this as an option. Biggest issue for me is AD servers using non-wildcard certs, and our need to connect to a subdomain with round robin dns to any of our AD servers. Having creds sent in plain text is not very good. Its not great that we have Cert errors but we're limited in our ability to fix that.
