Issue ID: 9796
Summary: Deprecate GnuTLS support
Product: OpenLDAP
Version: 2.6.1
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Keywords: needs_review
Severity: normal
Priority: ---
Component: libraries
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
Support for GnuTLS was added specifically for the Debian (and thus Ubuntu) due
to the license objections at the time that the Debian project had for the
OpenSSL license.
Since that time, Debian has reclassified OpenSSL as a core library and the
OpenSSL project has resolved the original complaint by licensing OpenSSL 3 and
later under the Apache License v2.
Thus there is no longer a reason to maintain support for GnuTLS and given the
long standing concerns over the security and quality of the GnuTLS bridge in
addition to the extra cost of maintaining that code, it should be marked as
deprecated and removed in a future release.
