I've been actively using relayd(8) on FreeBSD but, due to its age, the TLS support is somewhat lacking. Hence, I've resorted to wrapping connections in TLS using stunnel(8), which works perfectly but is less ideal I would suppose. Before I try and do anything myself, I was curious whether or not anyone has already made progress in this? If not, I thought a good strategy might involve adapting the approach used for the obhttpd(8) port as they even have very similar dependencies. I've never made a port before, so if no one has any interest in this, any suggestions would be welcome. I'm certain however, that between Porter's Hanbook and using obhttpd(8) as a reference, I should be able to figure out. As for ldapd(8), there seems to be a functioning port on GitHub by Nikola Kolev https://github.com/koue/ldapd. It has not been commited to the ports tree yet, though, from what I can tell. He also happens to be the official maintainer for relayd(8) but, unless I'm mistaken, the correct practice is to query the ports mailing list as opposed to the maintainer? My apologies otherwise.
