Re: Disable Protocol version 3?

[Quanah Gibson-Mount <quanah@zimbra.com>]

Hi,

Please keep your replies on the list.

Yes, the ancient OpenLDAP v1 was an LDAP v2 server.  However, all modern 
software uses LDAP v3.  If you have software that isn't LDAP v3 compliant, 
I suggest fixing it, or using an OpenLDAP v2 server that allows ldapv2 
style connections.

If all you're doing is writing a client that wants to see the supported 
versions, I suggest just querying the rootDSE to see what it says:

ldapsearch -x -h freelancer -s base -b "" +
dn:
structuralObjectClass: OpenLDAProotDSE
supportedLDAPVersion: 3


(The above is edited to drop out other bits unrelated to the 
supportedLDAPVersion).
