Further problems with ldap_connect

Gentlebeings: I talked with the IBM SecureWay Directory support folks on this problem (Please see my "Problems with ldap_connect" post, which <ahem> no one has responded to yet), and in the initial poking around discovered that it doesn't seem that IBM doesn't supports ldap_connect calls, but rather ldap_open and ldap_init. Before everyone starts crowing about IBM departures from Open Standards, take a look at the original LDAP RFC1823, which specifies ldap_open...and nothing else. I have been unable to find any subsequent RFC specifying anything for either ldap_init or ldap_connect. Would someone of an architectural frame of mind explain WTF is going on. Is Open Standards (which I had assumed IETF RFC based) not standardized? -- ==== Stewart Dean, Unix System Admin, Henderson Computer Resources Center of Bard College, Annandale-on-Hudson, New York 12504 sdean@bard.edu voice: 845-758-7475, fax: 845-758-7035
