How to write ldap client using openldap

["Brijesh Shukla" <shukla.brijesh@gmail.com>]

Hi All,
I am new to openldap, I have just installed it on my linux machine (CentOS).
I would like to write an experimental code for ldap client that can
connect with Active directory. ( I know using authconfig on linux I
can do it)
I would like to know, Is one can write his/her own ldap client using
openldap. if yes any sample code or guidelines?
Thanks to read this mail, Looking forward for your reply.
