Library: Interfaces, LDAP support (OMLDAP) Import: omldap.xmd

Declaration

  define external function ldap.open
                value stream  host
       on       value integer port     optional
       user     value stream  user     optional

Argument definitions

host

The host you want to connect to.

port

The port number you want to connect to.

user

The userid you want to use to connect to the LDAP server. If not specified, the userid 'anonymous' will be used.

password

The password you use to connect to the LDAP server. If not specified, the password will be blank.

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
