Re: Flexibility to use customized "verify_callback" while using OpenLdap with TLS (ITS#2767)

[Kurt@OpenLDAP.org]

A couple of quick comments (without really look at your tls.c
patch... I'll leave most of that to others who are more familiar
with that code).

Setting of options should be done through the ldap_set_option(3) API.
Likely should support global and per-session callbacks.  ldap_set_option(3)
supports both.  Also, we shouldn't provide options for things which
can be managed through the TLS_CTX option.  That is, -lldap should
avoid knowing too much about OpenSSL and/or TLS details.

Lastly, no file in the tarball include a notice  See
<http://www.openldap.org/devel/contributing.html> for guidelines.
I suggest you provide a notice in a separate COPYRIGHT file.
