LDAP_TLS(3) Library Functions ManualLDAP_TLS(3)ldap_start_tls, ldap_start_tls_s, ldap_tls_inplace, ldap_install_tls - LDAP TLS initialization routines
OpenLDAP LDAP (libldap, -lldap)
#include <ldap.h>int ldap_start_tls(LDAP *ld);int ldap_start_tls_s(LDAP *ld, LDAPControl **serverctrls,LDAPControl **clientctrls);int ldap_tls_inplace(LDAP *ld);int ldap_install_tls(LDAP *ld);
These routines are used to initiate TLS processing on an LDAP session.ldap_start_tls_s() sends a StartTLS request to a server, waits for the reply, and then installs TLS handlers on the session if the request succeeded. The routine returnsLDAP_SUCCESSif everything succeeded, otherwise it returns an LDAP error code.ldap_start_tls() sends a StartTLS request to a server and does nothing else. It returnsLDAP_SUCCESSif the request was sent successfully.ldap_tls_inplace() returns 1 if TLS handlers have been installed on the specified session, 0 otherwise.ldap_install_tls() installs the TLS handlers on the given session. It returnsLDAP_LOCAL_ERRORif TLS is already installed.
