No.  LDAP_API_VERSION refers to the version of the IETF API
technical specification ("a work in progress") implemented.

To check the vendor version, check LDAP_VENDOR_NAME for
"OpenLDAP" and then LDAP_VENDOR_VERSION.

IIRC, 1.2 doesn't defining any of these.

For checking for Netscape/Mozilla SDKs vs. OpenLDAP SDKs, see:
