ldapsearch fails if no CA certificate is available
Issue
- With latest openldap (RHEL6.1) ldapsearch or similar tools fails to contact ldap server if there are no certificates in /etc/openldap/cacerts directory.
- ldapsearch fails if cacertdir (TLS_CACERTDIR) directory doesn't contain any CA certs,directory does not exist etc, even if 'TLS_REQCERT' is set to "never".
The same command works well in the previous version(s) of openldap (openldap-2.4.19-15.el6_0.2 or older) if the option "LDAPTLS_REQCERT never" mentioned in /etc/openldap/ldap.conf file.
# LDAPTLS_REQCERT=never ldapsearch -x -H ldaps://hostname:port -s base -b ""
