Description

Currently when the ldapweb.cgi binds the ldap server, it issue this command to start tls:

$ldap->start_tls( verify => 'none')

Is this command secure enough?

It seems verify can be 'none' | 'optional' | 'require'.

In the line 814, it is #$ldap->start_tls( verify => 'require',
#cafile => '/usr/share/ssl/ldapcerts/cacert.pem');

But they were commented out.

No, it is not. That is a security bug, as it means that the SSL cert from the server may be invalid. For maximum security, it should be set to 'require'.

Jing added 'require' to the TLS calls in the ldapweb script so I believe we are good now. Also involved configuring the CA path correctly so it knows how to verify the ldap server's identity.
