Support for LDAP via StartTLS
Currently, Checkmk has the option to securely connect to LDAP servers for user sync via “LDAPS”, also known as “LDAP over TLS/SSL”, which can be activated by ticking the “use SSL” checkbox when configuring the LDAP connection.*
Another, officially standardized method to enable TLS for LDAP connections is to use StartTLS, but this method is currently not supported by Checkmk.

JPT MergedIf i had a whish for free... ;-)
It would be very nice to have the option to use a LDAP-Connection with STARTTLS for Usersync with LDAP. Some users of checkmk haven't any other option than STARTTLS. -

Matthias SpeerIt is completely incomprehensible to me why this option is not available, since the basic functionality is already included in the appropriate Python module and could be activated with just a few lines of code, as can seen here:
