ldap_ufn2dn (Windows CE 5.0)

Send Feedback

This function converts a user-friendly name to a distinguished name.

ULONG ldap_ufn2dn(UNICODE PTCHARufn,UNICODE PTCHAR* pDn);

Parameters

  • ufn
    [in] Pointer to a null-terminated string containing the user-friendly name to be converted.

  • pDn
    [out] Pointer to a variable that receives a pointer to a null-terminated string containing the resulting distinguished name.

    If the pDn parameter comes back as non-NULL, you should free it when you are done with a call to the ldap_memfree function.

Return Values

If this function succeeds, the return value is LDAP_SUCCESS.

If this function fails, it returns an error code. See the LDAP_RETCODE enumeration for a list of possible return values.

Remarks

This function attempts to normalize a user-specified name to a distinguished name. For example, consider an LDAP directory format for a common name of "Lastname, Firstname." Given a directory name of "Jane Doe," this function will attempt to normalize this to "Doe, Jane." The function follows RFC 1781 (add CN= if not present, add OU= if none present, and so on). If it runs into any problems at all while normalizing, the function returns a copy of what was passed. It then allocates the output string from the LDAP memory pool.

Requirements

OS Versions: Windows CE .NET 4.0 and later.
Header: Winldap.h.
Link Library: Wldap32.lib.
