v1.1.0-beta.2

beta

Refuses cleartext binds by default, fixes StartTLS, and adds the `ldap+starttls` protocol.

Security

  • Backups over ldap:// are refused unless insecure=true is set, since the bind DN and password are sent in cleartext. Use ldaps:// or ldap+starttls:// instead.
  • StartTLS connections verify the server certificate against the server’s hostname.

New

  • The ldap+starttls protocol connects over plain LDAP and upgrades the connection with StartTLS.

Fixes

  • StartTLS connections no longer fail during the TLS handshake.
  • The connection to the server is no longer closed before the backup has completed.
  • A failed bind or handshake now ends the backup with an error instead of leaving it hanging.
