NAME
       ldap_start_tls, ldap_start_tls_s, ldap_tls_inplace, ldap_install_tls - LDAP TLS initialization routines

LIBRARY
       OpenLDAP LDAP (libldap, -lldap)

SYNOPSIS
       #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);

DESCRIPTION
       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  returns	LDAP_SUCCESS  if  everything  suc-
       ceeded,	otherwise  it returns an LDAP error code.  ldap_start_tls() sends a StartTLS request to a server and does nothing else. It returns
       LDAP_SUCCESS if the request was sent successfully.  ldap_tls_inplace() returns 1 if TLS handlers have been installed on the specified  ses-
       sion,  0  otherwise.   ldap_install_tls()  installs  the  TLS  handlers on the given session. It returns LDAP_LOCAL_ERROR if TLS is already
       installed.
