     on       value integer port     optional

Argument definitions

The host you want to connect to.

Purpose

The ldap.open function opens a connection to an LDAP server.

In this example, a connection to an LDAP server is opened and then immediately terminated: 

  import "omldap.xmd" prefixed by ldap.
  
  process
     local ldap.connection my-ldap
     set my-ldap to ldap.open "www.stilo.com"
     ldap.close my-ldap

If your LDAP server is at a different port number, or requires a distinguished name and password for authentication, you may specify these with the ldap.open call. For example: 

  import "omldap.xmd" prefixed by ldap.
  
  process
     local ldap.connection my-ldap
  
     set my-ldap to ldap.open 'www.stilo.com'
                           on 123
                         user "cn=guest"
                     password "omnimark"
     ldap.close my-ldap
