Why should it be mandatory?  I can see that saying that finding a cert is
a good idea, but mandating it is not (there will always be situations where
it doesn't make sense), and mandating one particular way of doing it is even
worse - even if you are in a situation where retrieving a cert is useful,
being forced to do it via LDAP is an unnecessary restriction.
