LDAP Session Functions (Windows CE 5.0)
The following table shows the LDAP session functions with a description of the purpose of each.
| Programming element | Description |
|---|---|
| cldap_open | This function establishes a session with a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server over a connectionless User Datagram Protocol (UDP) service. |
| ldap_abandon | This function is called by a client to cancel an in-progress asynchronous LDAP call. |
| ldap_bind | This function is an asynchronous function that authenticates a client to the LDAP server. The bind operation identifies a client to the directory server by providing a distinguished name and some type of authentication credential, such as a password. The authentication method being used determines the particular type of credential. |
| ldap_bind_s | This function is a synchronous function that authenticates a client to the LDAP server. |
| ldap_connect | This function establishes a connection with the server. |
| ldap_get_option | This function retrieves the current values of session-wide parameters. |
| ldap_init | This function initializes a session with an LDAP server. |
| ldap_open | This function creates and initializes a connection block, and then opens the connection to an LDAP server. This function is currently depreciated: users are strongly encouraged to use ldap_init instead. |
| ldap_sasl_bind_s | This function is a synchronous function that authenticates a client to the LDAP server using the Simple Authentication and Security Layer (SASL). |
| ldap_sasl_bind | This function is an asynchronous function that authenticates a client to the LDAP server using the Simple Authentication and Security Layer (SASL). |
| ldap_set_option | This function sets options on connection blocks. |
| ldap_simple_bind | This function authenticates a client to a server using a clear text password. |
| ldap_simple_bind_s | This function authenticates a client to a server using a clear text password. |
| ldap_sslinit | This function initializes a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) session with an LDAP server. |
| ldap_unbind | This function frees all resources associated with an LDAP session. |
| ldap_unbind_s | This function frees all resources associated with an LDAP session. |
