Allowing different URI schemes than ldap://

[robert.fenk@…]

At our site we are using LdapPlugin to access a local slapd-instance via ldapi:// and the default socket in /var/run/slapd/ldapi.

I want to share the modifications i had to make to LdapPlugin here. Unfortunately the changes are not backwards compatible, so an existing configuration will not work. If there is interest I can change that though.

Support full URIs instead of hostname + port

An example config fpr using a local slapd-connection

[ldap]
enable = true
basedn = o=exampled,dc=com
user_rdn = ou=People
uidattr = uid
group_rdn = ou=Groups
groupname = posixGroup
groupmember = memberUid
groupattr = cn
permfilter = objectClass=tracgroup
manage_groups = false

# configure URI explicitly instead of implicitly with ldap://hostname:port
uri = ldapi://%2Fvar%2Frun%2Fslapd%2Fldapi

The relevant part for using a connection to a server using STARTTLS:

uri = ldap://ldap-host
start_tls = true
