#3808 - Support STARTTLS

Identifier #3808
Issue type Feature request or suggestion
Title Support STARTTLS
Status Open
Handling member Deleted
Addon ldap
Description Current LDAP support just assumes the original LDAP protocol, with no encryption layer.

PHP has functionality for STARTTLS:
https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ldap-start-tls.php
It's undocumented, but usage seems straight forward.

An option (or even unofficial hidden option) could be added to support it.
Steps to reproduce

Additional information Adding any new LDAP functionality requires proper testing on real infrastructure, which is not easy for the core team's normal workflow. Therefore external contributions or sponsored work is necessary for progress here.
