[Bug 423252] Re: NSS using LDAP+SSL breaks setuid applications like su, sudo, apache2 suexec, and atd

[Howard Chu]

3 sets of LDAP client libraries? That sounds like a terrible solution.

Fwiw, I wrote a version of OpenLDAP's TLS support that could use any/all
of OpenSSL, GnuTLS, and MozillaNSS simultaneously, and never released
it, because it seemed that would be too confusing if separate apps had
different expectations of TLS config options. But it would certainly be
possible to add libltdl support in, and make libldap dynamically load a
single TLS implementation. I still don't see any technical merit in
supporting anything besides OpenSSL.
