Mozilla LDAP C SDK

Overview

Overview

The LDAP-UX Client Services provides the Mozilla LDAP C SDK 5.14.1 support. The LDAP C SDK is a Software Development Kit that contains a set of LDAP Application Programming Interfaces (API) to allow you to build LDAP-enabled clients. The functionality implemented in the SDK closely follows the interface outlined in RFC 2251. Using the functionality provided with the SDK, you can enable your clients to connect to LDAP v3-compliant servers and perform the LDAP functions.

The API functions provided by the Netscape LDAP C SDK allow you to perform the following major LDAP operations:

 

• Search for retrieving a list of entries

 

• Add new entries to the directory

 

•

Update existing entries

 

•

Delete entries

 

•

Rename entries
