[Tomcat Wiki] Update of "JNDI_startTLs_HowTo" by KonstantinKolinko

Dear Wiki user,

You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Tomcat Wiki" for change notification.

The "JNDI_startTLs_HowTo" page has been changed by KonstantinKolinko:
https://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/JNDI_startTLs_HowTo?action=diff&rev1=4&rev2=5

Comment:
Add link to BZ 49785. Note that this feature is available from Tomcat proper.

+   '''Note:''' Nowadays StartTLS support is implemented in JDNIRealm of Tomcat &mdash; starting with Tomcat 7.0.60, 8.0.21 ([[https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=49785|BZ 49785]]).
+ 
+   This old page describes an alternative solution and is kept as a historic reference. Note that BZ 49785 has a [[https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=49785#c1|link]] to this page.

  In reference to: http://www.mail-archive.com/users@tomcat.apache.org/msg80660.html this Howto describes the configuration of a JNDI Realm connecting to an LDAP directory using StartTLS for connection establishment.
  
  StartTLS is the method of negotiating a TLS connection. For LDAP it was first time in RFC 2830, then refined in RFC 4513.

  The code probably needs auditing. More testing. And definitely more tightening: e.g.: When starting the negotiation the client (Tomcat + `LdapTlsContextFactory`) sends an `SSLv2Hello`, which is anything but desirable. This could be due to Sun’s poor defaults in their SSL implementation, an oversight in the code, or because I’ve missed out a JVM startup options.
