RE: find out if i am working with Microsoft Active Directory or iPlanet

this is just a thought...

i'm sure that both AD and iPlanet got there own unique schema.
why not try to do an ldap_search on the server to a unique object class that must be there for AD - say filter is (objectclass=builtinDomain).
if you fail to get it (and you sure that the machine is alive) then it is iPlanet.

cheers

Hello. 

	I have wrote a program that uses OpenLDAP API version 2.1.22 to get data from windows active directory server, I want my program to be able to work with iPlanet (actually now its called Sun One Directory Server). I have no problem binding to both platforms and working with them but what that I would like to know is which platform am I working with ? I looked at the LDAP rfc and the OpenLDAP API manual and haven't found a way, if someone knows how this can be done it would be greate.
