= System Wide Change: Switch OpenLDAP from NSS to OpenSSL =
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/OpenLDAPwithOpenSSL

Currently, OpenLDAP in Fedora is compiled with NSS (aka MozNSS) for
cypto. OpenLDAP is going to be compiled with OpenSSL, instead.

== Detailed Description ==
OpenLDAP in Fedora is has been compiled with NSS for crypto for
several years now. Support layer for NSS was added back in 2008 but
the OpenLDAP upstream ceased to keep it up to date since 2014. Reasons
for keeping OpenLDAP compiled with NSS was to make it work with some
other packages (esp. 389DS) seamlessly. Fixing and keeping downstream
patches has become a burden, thus it was decided to switch to OpenSSL,
instead.

For more detailed description, check out Change page.

== Scope ==
* Proposal owners: write the Interception code.

* Other developers: ensure usage of OpenSSL-like TLS configuration
based on the Schedule.

* Release engineering: [1]

* List of deliverables: Not affected

* Policies and guidelines: none.

* Trademark approval: none.
