RE: Reading active directory from RPG

["Kevin Touchette" <KTouchette@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ok, so it is as I thought, I think we have some limitations in our
active directory set up.  I was of the understanding that you login and
then query the information that you need from active directory and that
works great from your example but I think we have people not set up
correctly in the active directory so this becomes a network admin issue.
Once again, thank you for your help.  This was exactly what I needed to
know.

ldap_simple_bind_s() does that.  There's an example of this in the code
that you looked at.  instead of hard-coding the userid/password in the
LOGIN_ACCT & LOGIN_PASSWD variables, ask the user for them.

Are you talking about something different than I am?  Are you talking
about logging into the LDAP server?  Or are you talking about retrieving
a password that's stored in a field in the LDAP database?
