TLDR:
How many people use anything other than X509ResourceBacked to secure their
LDAP connection and if so what do they use?
Long version:
Im looking for some user feedback on a simplification I am going to
introduce with 3.3 whereby
<resolver:DataConnector type="dc:LDAPDirectory"
.>
<dc:StartTLSTrustCredential xsi:type="sec:X509ResourceBacked"
>
<sec: Certificate>/dir/file.xml</sec:Certificate>
</dc:StartTLSTrustCredential>
Will become
<DataConnector type="LDAPDirectory" trustFile="/dir/file.xml">
In a similar manner to the way that we simplified configuring the
SignatureValidation metadata filter in 3.0.
Just as in that case the old style will still be there and supported for all
3.x versions (and very possibly beyond).
My questions are:
- Do you use something other than sec:X509ResourceBacked to specify
the StartTLSTrustCredential?
- Do you use the StartTLSAuthenticationCredential and if so what sec:
type do you use?
If you can respond here Ill collate the answers and make a call on how much
work to do.
Thanks
Rod
