Hi,

thanx for fast response.

What I really want to know, when I call ldap_get_option(), is the
default configuration of slapd, but not the parameters, passed to
ldap_open() explicitly (since my application should not bother about
asking that values, and I usually call this function with default 
args values).

There is no dtfference for me, in how to get the information --
calling ldap_get_option() twice for hostname and port number values, or only
once, to get composite string in "hostname::portnumber" form.
