Re: ldap_search_s hangs with ms active directory

["Sankhadip Sengupta" <shanks.iit@gmail.com>]

Thank you sir for you reply.So I tried that again  and this time the search 
worked but after 6 mins or something it returned the result.

Is there any way to bypass this delay or to avoid the referrals? I do set an 
option like

ldap_set_option(ld,LDAP_SET_REFERRALS,&times) where times=0 so stop 
referrrals.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Sankhadip
