In other words, if the certificate Common Name is "ldap", one has to connect to the server using the hostname "ldap". I know that that worked in lenny at least, I'll be very surprised if it doesn't in squeeze (but at least in lenny ldapvi had a bug making it the only program not to accept the certificate).

I suspect something changed between Lenny and Squeeze, as certificate checking seem to have become stricter.

Perhaps what changed was simply host resolving - to more aggressively resolve FQDN instead of only hostname.
