Hi OpenLDAP-Team, 

I am going through the left-over bugs of libldap2 (which was removed a while 
ago, being superseded by libldap-2.4-2).

I think, this bug should be closed or tagged wontfix.

Rationale: 
+ From my impression, LDAP clients are most often used to connect to a single 
local server (that's what we use anyway).
+ AFAIK, libldap will not check for certificate revokations, so this could be 
a possible security whole.
+ It would pose a performance penalty for every secure connection (possibly 
leading to admins turning of TLS).

What do you think?

Greetings, Torsten
