How to temporarily downgrade to LDAPv2 ?

["J. Bakshi" <joydeep@infoservices.in>]

Dear all,

I like to downgrade the ldap communication protocol to do some
experiments.  An api  which has been designed in 2005 can not work with
my ldap server ( suse 11.1) as the log reports

`````````````````````````
historical protocol version requested, use LDAPv3 instead

`````````````````````````````````````

so i need to temporarily allow the old v2 protocol so that the api can
communicate with the ldap server.
How can i do this ?

Thanks
