[erlang-questions] Adding StartTLS support to the newly merged eldap?

[Rory Byrne]

Hi Gavin,

I just took a quick look at this and it seems that ejabberd is using 
a very different version of eldap than the one that comes with 
Erlang/OTP. It looks like they might have integrated a version of 
eldap way back and have made numerous modifications to it. 

This might not work out so bad for you as I imagine that it will
be easier to get a STARTTLS patch accepted in ejabberd than in OTP. 
Then again, it might be that ejabberd plans to start using the OTP 
version of eldap whenever it's available. You might want to ask 
them about this. 

Do you just want STARTTLS support or do you also want the client 
to be able to use TLS credentials to authenticate itself to the 
server? The reason I ask is that neither versions of eldap seem 
to have support for SASL binding at the moment, so that would 
need to be added also. 

Rory
