[python-ldap] LDAPS with self-signed certificates

[Daniel Corbe]

Hi,

I'm trying to connect python-ldap to an LDAP server with a self-signed
SSL certificate and I'm getting the following error.  How do I tell
python-ldap to either ignore or accept a self-signed certificate?

Traceback (most recent call last):
