I expect that a port to Mozilla's NSS wouldn't be

I would think there are other developers here who are familiar with
Mozilla NSS and can read the code in libldap/tls.c. It's certainly not
high on my list at the moment since OpenSSL works for me. One thing that
I find rather annoying about NSS is its use of a private
certificate/keystore that requires additional tools to manipulate.

When Stanford was looking at an OpenSSL alternative, Mozilla's NSS was brought up then. There was a discussion on IRC's #ldap channel about it at that time, IIRC, and it was found deficient in a number of areas. Not that I recall what they all were. ;)
