[ldap] Microsoft's LDAP api

[Victor_Pittman/PeopleSoft@peoplesoft.com]

Hi all,
I'm new to ldap and trying to brush up on my windows programming as well...

Anyway, anyone have experience with Microsoft's ldap api (wldap32) ?

My sample code follows...
The problems seem to be many... First off I get an access violation in the
ldap_set_option (this code came right out of the Microsoft MSDN), if I comment
this out the program does not connect to the server... Looking at the ld
structure the host is null... If I replace the ldap_init with an ldap_open it
connects, but the ldap_set_option still access violates...

Am I doing something wrong here or is this just a buggy api ? Just I give this
up and go to the Netscape sdk ? Are there better libraries out there ?

Thanks,
Victor

Environment :
NT 4.0 sp 3
VC++ 6.0
OpenLDAP 1.2 (on Solaris 2.6... working fine)


#define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN        // Exclude rarely-used stuff from Windows
headers


#include <windows.h>
#include <Winldap.h>

int main( void )
{
  LDAP *ld = NULL;
  ULONG version = LDAP_VERSION3;

  // initialize the LDAP session
  if ( ( ld = ldap_init( "tl-sun26", LDAP_PORT )) == NULL)
  {
    perror( "ldap_init" );
    return (1);
  }

  // set options
  if ( ( ldap_set_option( ld, LDAP_OPT_VERSION, &version )) != LDAP_SUCCESS)
  {
    ldap_perror( ld, "set_option" );
    return (1);
  }

  // authenticate to the LDAP server
  if ( ldap_simple_bind_s( ld, NULL, NULL ) != LDAP_SUCCESS )
  {
    ldap_perror( ld, "bind" );
    return (1);
  }

  ldap_unbind( ld );
  return 0;
