#include <ldap.h> int ldap_simple_bind_s( LDAP *ld, const char *dn, const char *passwd)
The ldap_simple_bind_s() function is used to authenticate a distinguished name (DN) to a directory server.
For LDAP V2 servers, after a connection is made to an LDAP server by using the ldap_open(), ldap_init(), or ldap_ssl_init() APIs, an LDAP bind API must be called before any other LDAP APIs can be called for that connection. For LDAP V3 servers, the bind is optional.
ldap_simple_bind_s() performs a synchronous request.
No IBM® i authority is required. All authority checking is done by the LDAP server.
If ldap_simple_bind_s() is not successful, it returns an LDAP error code. See LDAP Client API Error Conditions for possible LDAP error code values.
The following message may be sent from this function.
Message ID | Error Message Text |
