These files are here specifically for use in building the evolution-connector |
| 2 |
package, and should not be used for any other purpose. |

In order to authenticate to older servers, an LDAP client must perform an |
| 5 |
ntlm_bind operation instead of a simple or SASL bind. The ntlm_bind is not the |
| 6 |
same thing as performing SASL authentication using NTLM as the mechanism, which |
| 7 |
wouldn't require any patching. Newer servers properly support DIGEST-MD5, so |
| 8 |
this requirement only applies to clients which want to authenticate to older |
| 9 |
servers, and this requirement will hopefully go away at some point. |

Because the changes involved both modify the libldap ABI and add |
| 12 |
non-standardized messages to the protocol, changed libraries are built |
| 13 |
statically and stashed in a directory where they will not be found by a |
| 14 |
compiler using the default search paths. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
The openldap-devel package provides "openldap-evolution-devel" if it includes a |
| 17 |
patched version of these libraries in such a directory. Packages which depend |
| 18 |
on these libraries should BuildRequire this virtual provision so that they |
| 19 |
don't fail to compile or get miscompiled if the libraries are not present. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
If/when the evolution-connector package stops requiring these changes, the |
| 22 |
changed libraries will simply disappear. |
