RE: ldapi:/// Unix & domain socket usage

["Eric T. Blue" <openldap@star-cs.com>]

This works great if I use the ldapsearch binary from Openldap with -H.
However, if I seem to have problems with the Mozilla 4.x SDK.  Writing a
sample client, I can search ldap:/// with no problem.  If I then try
ldapi:/// I get ldap_search_ext: Bad parameter to an ldap routine.

Perhaps you accidently told it to listen to ldapi://389/? (forgot what
this code looks like, but that might change the file used for the
socket).

Yes, the library decodes the URI, same for ldaps:// URI's.
