Heho,
I'd like to push this issue again. My point may not have come across in
my previous post.

With the heartbleed stuff many people currently re-issue. In the same
process some CA's now decided to bump their settings to max, i.e. impose
sha512 on their users.

The bug in place basically means no ssl/tls for openldap related
programs in those cases.

Although people _could_ technically re-issue switch to their own
ca/self-sig certs or switch to a CA which does support sth. != sha512,
such a solution is most certainly not convenient.

With best Regards,
Tobias
