gpg: retrieve a certificate from an LDAP server before sending it to the LDAP server
Testing, HighPublic
Actions

Description

An LDAP server may have more up-to-date information (especially certifications) about a public key than the user. Therefore, the certificate should first be read automatically, which may supplement the information in the local keyring, before it is sent to the directory server.
Has to be tested with Kleopatra, too.
