Re: Question about ldap_init()/ldap_initialize() behavior with OpenLDAP

[Frank Crow <fjcrow2008@gmail.com>]

I understand the order, which I have read in the man page that you have mentioned.   What I'm not clear on, and what is not detailed in the respective man page, is whether or not ldap_init()/ldap_initailize() will use ldap.conf or the respective environment variables.

Thanks,

Frank

the question is more about configuration than coding.

I'm seeing that the ldap_init() function allows the hostname parameter to
be null or a list of hosts.    If it is null, the function attempts to
determine the default ldap host.

How does it determine the default LDAP host when the hostname parameter is
null?   Does it load the list of hosts from the ldap.conf URI parameter?
And/or does it use the LDAPURI environment variable?

The order is detailed in the ldap.conf manpage, within the DESCRIPTION
section.
