Summary0000479: disable TLS at runtime no longer possible
Descriptionin earlier versions of ldmud you just needed to leave out --tls-key
and the driver would not activate its TLS abilities. nowadays the
behaviour has changed, openSSL looks for default certificates and
complains if it doesn't find any.

we find it very practical to compile ldmud with TLS because the admin
might at a later time decide to use it and can then simply activate it
in the configuration files.

so we think either openSSL should not complain after not being successful,
or we should be able to provide a --no-tls flag to the driver.
of course we can also redirect ldmud output to /dev/null ... ;)
then the admin will never know what went wrong.. like with a microsoft product.
Additional Informationthis sort of output is making casual new ldmud users nervous:

tls is disabled, as the driver does not find the default certificate files.
Are you sure that previous versions simply disabled tls and did not generate error messages?

TLS can now be deactivated by default using configure (--with-tls-keyfile=no) and still used using the command line option --tls-key. (The other way around is also possible using '--tls-key none' on the command line to deactivate it.)

Committed as r2590.
