LDAPConnect (Function)

In french: LDAPConnecte

Used to connect to an LDAP server via the characteristics defined in the LDAPSession structure. The connection is actually established during the first access (LDAPFind for example).

Example

// Check the "Login/Password" couple

// Initialization
LDAPReset()
LDAPSession.Host = "domain.local"
LDAPSession.Port = 389
LDAPSession.Version = 3
LDAPSession.User = "user@domain.local"
LDAPSession.Password = "pwd"

// Connection
LDAPConnect("MySession")

// Find information about the user.
sDn is string = LDAPFind("MySession", ...
"dc=domain,dc=local","sAMAccountName=user@domain.local")

IF sDn = "" THEN
// Unable to list the connection DN
// The login and the password do not match
Error("The password of the user " + LDAPSession.User + " is invalid.")
END

// Disconnection
LDAPDisconnect("MySession")

Syntax

<Result> = LDAPConnect(<LDAP session>)

<Result>: Boolean

True if the connection is established,
False otherwise. ErrorInfo returns more details about the error.
The connection is not established if the session name already exists.

<LDAP session>: Character string (with quotes)

Name of LDAP session. This name must be unique. This name will be used to identify the session in all LDAP functions.

Remarks

LDAPSession structure

The LDAPSession structure is used to specify the characteristics of LDAP session to use (server address, port, ...). This structure must be initialized before the call to LDAPConnect.

This structure is also used to specify different options such as the management mode of SSL or the connection mode.

Remark: We advise you to re-initialize the LDAPSession structure via LDAPReset.

LDAP and user groupware

You project can be automatically connected to an LDAP directory via the User Groupware.
