Is it possible to use an IPv6 Link-Local ip with openlap clients? address
would be of the form ldaps://[fe80::abcd:346:123%eth0]:636 where %eth0 is the
interface specifier
The host part of the URL is just passed to getaddrinfo() and the resulting address is returned in a struct sockaddr. As far as I know there is no field of these structs reserved for an interface name, so the %eth0 part would not be valid.
