Linux Support - SSL Flag

[Rob4001]

As of .NET 5 System.DirectoryServices.Protocols has linux support, using the openldap c libraries.

These libraries do not support the UseSSL Flag: dotnet/runtime#36888 (comment) which causes a PlatformNotSupportedException when trying to use this library

Could we put a runtime specific case around the setting of this flag ?

LinqToLdap/LinqToLdap/ConnectionFactoryBase.cs

Line 138 in af31876

connection.SessionOptions.SecureSocketLayer = UsesSsl;

https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/blob/c5ae5bf75635cb395d05567f6f37be2dc4a90afd/src/libraries/System.DirectoryServices.Protocols/src/System/DirectoryServices/Protocols/ldap/LdapSessionOptions.Linux.cs#L13

My current workaround is to duplicate the connection factories and override the BuildConnection call.

Thanks

I encountered the same problem, would really appreciate fixing this issue.

In modern .NET versions (like at least v6), this seems to be fixed;
