.SH CONTROLS
LDAP operations can be extended through the use of controls. Controls
This library supports both LDAP Version 2 and Version 3, with the Version 2
protocol selected by default.
LDAP Version 3 operations can be extended through the use of controls. Controls
can be sent to a server or returned to the client with any LDAP message.
Extended versions of the standard routines are available for use with
controls. These routines are generally named by adding

.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
These routines provide various interfaces to the LDAP bind operation.
After a connection is made to an LDAP server using
.BR ldap_open (3),
an LDAP bind operation must be performed before other operations can
be attempted over the conection. Both synchronous and asynchronous
versions of each variant of the bind call are provided. There are
three types of calls, providing simple authentication, kerberos
authentication, and general routines to do either one. All routines
After an association with an LDAP server is made using
.BR ldap_init (3),
an LDAP bind operation should be performed before other operations are
attempted over the connection. An LDAP bind is required when using
Version 2 of the LDAP protocol; it is optional for Version 3 but is
usually needed due to security considerations.
.LP
There are many types of bind calls, providing simple authentication, Kerberos
version 4 authentication, and general routines to do either one, as
well as calls using
.B SASL
(Simple Authentication and Security Layer)
that can negotiate one of many different kinds of authentication.
Both synchronous and asynchronous versions of each variant of the bind
call are provided. All routines
take \fIld\fP as their first parameter, as returned from
.BR ldap_open (3).
.BR ldap_init (3).
.LP
Kerberos version 4 has been superseded by Kerberos version 5, and the
Kerberos version 4 support is only provided for backward compatibility. The
SASL interfaces should be used for new applications. SASL provides
a general interface for using Kerberos versions 4 and 5 and many other
security systems.

If the LDAP library and LDAP server being contacted have been

Kerberos version 4 authentication can be accomplished by calling
the
.BR ldap_kerberos_bind_s()

has obtained a ticket granting ticket. It takes \fIwho\fP, the DN
of the entry to bind as. This routine does both steps of the
kerberos binding process synchronously. The

The

routines provide equivalent asynchronous access.
.LP
The
.B ldap_kerberos_bind_s()
routine is used to perform both authentication steps when contacting
an LDAP server that is a gateway to an X.500 DSA. This kind of server
configuration is only supported in the (very old) University of Michigan LDAP
release. The OpenLDAP package no longer provides this gateway server.
The standalone LDAP server provided in OpenLDAP may still be configured
with Kerberos version 4 support, but it only requires one authentication
step, and will return an error if the second step is attempted. Therefore,
only the
.B ldap_kerberos_bind1()
routine or its synchronous equivalent may be used when contacting an
OpenLDAP server.
