Details of Write/Read Options and Value - Calling LDAP Protocol Functions

[Selle1]

Based on Calling LDAP Protocol Functions - SAP Documentation, these are the following Write/Read Options with Option Number fields:

• 2: LDAP_OPT_DEREF

• 3: LDAP_OPT_SIZELIMIT

• 4: LDAP_OPT_TIMELIMIT

• 8: LDAP_OPT_REFERRALS

• 9: LDAP_OPT_RESTART

• 17: LDAP_OPT_PROTOCOL_VERSION

• 49: LDAP_OPT_ERROR_NUMBER

I would like to seek more details to the meaning of each option above and its recommended option value.

I don't have the product documentation stated to the link and not found in F1 help either.

Hi 

Please check these comments

1. LDAP_OPT_DEREF (2):
Meaning: Controls how aliases are handled during searches.
Recommended Value: `LDAP_DEREF_ALWAYS` to always dereference aliases, or `LDAP_DEREF_NEVER` to never dereference.

2. LDAP_OPT_SIZELIMIT (3):
Meaning: Sets the maximum number of entries returned by a search.
Recommended Value: Set to `0` for no limit or a specific integer value based on your needs.

3. LDAP_OPT_TIMELIMIT (4):
Meaning: Sets the maximum time in seconds for a search operation.
Recommended Value: Set to `0` for no limit or a reasonable value like `30` seconds.

4. LDAP_OPT_REFERRALS (8):
Meaning: Controls whether referrals should be followed or not.
Recommended Value: `LDAP_OPT_ON` to follow referrals, or `LDAP_OPT_OFF` to ignore them.

5. LDAP_OPT_PROTOCOL_VERSION (17):
Meaning: Specifies the version of the LDAP protocol to use.
Recommended Value: Use `3` for LDAP version 3, which is the most commonly used version.

You can apply these options based on your specific LDAP configuration and requirements.
