RE: LDAP connections to the proper server, and unknown error??

["Cassidy, Alan" <CassidyA@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Lim, and Matt, 

 "__I think that error can be ignored.  I add a additional check on search 
result to make sure it is not null before throwing an error.__" 

aec..> I have gone on to use 

"entry = ldap_first_entry(ld:result)"

and it consistently returns the *NULL pointer. That's why I'm assuming that the 
negative return code on rc=ldap_search(...) is "correct" in the sense that it 
is reflecting some kind of problem, presumably with the connection. 

---->>>> Hi Matt, 

I didn't post the RPG prototypes I'm using but they go like this: 

ldap_init       PR              *   extproc('ldap_init')    
  defhost                       *   value options(*string)  
  defport                     10I 0 value                   

So with value and options(*string) that should be converting the parm to a 
pointer before passing it. However I will now go back and try it with the _ 
%addr() function.... 

And the prototype for the ldap_search(): 

ldap_search     PR            10I 0 ExtProc('ldap_search')  
  ld                            *   value                   
  base                          *   value options(*string)  
  scope                       10I 0 value                   
  filter                        *   value options(*string)  
  attrs                         *   value                   
  attrsonly                   10I 0 value
