LDAP_DEBUG

Use the LDAP_DEBUG API for debugging information from a client application.

To obtain debug information from a client application that is built by using the IBM® Security Directory Suite LDAP C-API, you can set the environment variables LDAP_DEBUG and LDAP_DEBUG_FILE.

For UNIX, enter the following command before you run your application:

export LDAP_DEBUG=65535

For the Windows NT and Windows 2000 operating systems, enter the following command before you run your application:

set LDAP_DEBUG=65535

Trace messages in the LDAP C-API library are output to standard error. Use LDAP_DEBUG_FILE=xxxxx to send the trace output to the file xxxxx.

These environment variables affect only applications that are run in the same shell or command window session. You can also call ldap_set_option() in your application to enable and disable the library trace messages.
