Michal,
Don't bother - The certificate is for data only (T120). The only way, we
could make NM authentication reasonably secure is:
1) Have NM with the help of an LDAP add-on module set an attribute to a
common value (that may change from time to time) on the LDAP server using an
SSL connection, before registering NM with the gk.

2) The GK can then in addition to LdapAliasAuth authenticate against that
additional attribute.

Another way we used in the past, using the same add-on ldap client, was to
register with the dynamic directory of an LDAP server and update the TTL
periodically. The GK in turn would authenticate against the dynamic
directory (instead of the user directory) and as long as the TTL has not
expired, the endpoint could be positively authenticated.

PS. I'm currently in LOS with limited (9.6k Mobile - expensive) internet
connectivity, I shall answer to you email when I arrive back in the UK on
Friday.
