Re: C LDAP SDK, Synchronization Problem

["Kurt D. Zeilenga" <Kurt@OpenLDAP.org>]

If you have questions about LCUP, I suggest you direct them
to the <ietf-ldup@imc.org>.   I note that the OpenLDAP server
doesn't support LCUP.  It implements LDAP-sync instead.
LDAP-sync is described in draft-zeilenga-ldup-sync (a work
in progress).

After the result is parsed through the datas are updated and cookie is stored and then connection is unbind.For each synchronization new LDAP session is started.
