LDAP URLs look like this: +.nf + + \fBldap://\fP\fIhostport\fP\fB/\fP\fIdn\fP[\fB?\fP\fIattrs\fP[\fB?\fP\fIscope\fP[\fB?\fP\fIfilter\fP[\fB?\fP\fIexts\fP]]]] + +where: + \fIhostport\fP is a host name with an optional ":portnumber" + \fIdn\fP is the search base + \fIattrs\fP is a comma separated list of attributes to request + \fIscope\fP is one of these three strings: + base one sub (default=base) + \fIfilter\fP is filter + \fIexts\fP are recognized set of LDAP and/or API extensions. + +Example: + ldap://ldap.example.net/dc=example,dc=net?cn,sn?sub?(cn=*) + +.fi +.LP +URLs that are wrapped in angle-brackets and/or preceded by "URL:" are also +tolerated. Alternative LDAP schemes such as ldaps:// and ldapi:// may be +parsed using the below routines as well. +.LP +.B ldap_is_ldap_url() +returns a non-zero value if \fIurl\fP looks like an LDAP URL (as +opposed to some other kind of URL). It can be used as a quick check +for an LDAP URL; the +.B ldap_url_parse() +routine should be used if a more thorough check is needed. +.LP +.B ldap_url_parse() +breaks down an LDAP URL passed in \fIurl\fP into its component pieces. +If successful, zero is returned, an LDAP URL description is +allocated, filled in, and \fIludpp\fP is set to point to it. If an +error occurs, a non-zero URL error code is returned. +.LP +.B ldap_free_urldesc() +should be called to free an LDAP URL description that was obtained from +a call to +.B ldap_url_parse(). +.SH SEE ALSO +.nf +.BR ldap (3) +.BR "RFC 4516" " <http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4516.txt>" +.SH ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS +.fi +.so ../Project |
