ldap_simple_bind_s()--Perform a Simple LDAP Bind Request (Synchronous)

Syntax

 #include <ldap.h>

 int ldap_simple_bind_s(
  LDAP   *ld,
                const char *dn,
                const char *passwd)

  Default Public Authority: *USE

  Library Name/Service Program: QSYS/QGLDCLNT

  Threadsafe: Yes

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.

Authorities and Locks

No IBM^® i authority is required. All authority checking is done by the LDAP server.

Parameters

ld: (Input) Specifies the LDAP pointer returned by a previous call to ldap_init(), ldap_ssl_init(), or ldap_open().
dn: (Input) Specifies the Distinguished Name of the entry to bind as.
passwd: (Input) Specifies the password used in association with DN of the entry in which to bind.

Return Value

LDAP_SUCCESS: if the request was successful.
another LDAP error: if the request was not successful.

Error Conditions

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.
