Part of the problem is that we wanted to support being able to use
both
mozldap and openldap, without too much "helper" code/macros/#ifdef
MOZLDAP/etc. It looks as though this is a place where we need to have
some sort of helper.
(as for why we still support mozldap - we still need an ldap c sdk that
supports NSS for crypto until we can fix that in the server. Once we
change 389 so that it can use openldap with openssl/gnutls for crypto,
we should consider deprecating support for mozldap.)
What support for MozNSS is OpenLDAP lacking? Support for MozNSS has been in
there for ages now.
Patches to make Mozilla work with OpenLDAP instead of mozldap have also been
available for ages. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=292127#c17
