cldap_search_s(3LDAP) LDAP Library Functions cldap_search_s(3LDAP) NAME
cldap_search_s - connectionless LDAP search SYNOPSIS
cc[ flag... ] file... -lldap[ library... ] #include <lber.h> #include <ldap.h> int cldap_search_s(LDAP *ld, char *base, int scope, char *filter, char *attrs, int attrsonly, LDAPMessage **res, char *logdn); DESCRIPTION
The cldap_search_s() function performs an LDAP search using the Connectionless LDAP (CLDAP) protocol. cldap_search_s() has parameters and behavior identical to that of ldap_search_s(3LDAP), except for the addition of the logdn parameter. logdn should contain a distinguished name to be used only for logging purposed by the LDAP server. It should be in the text format described by RFC 1779, A String Representation of Distinguished Names. Retransmission Algorithm cldap_search_s() operates using the CLDAP protocol over udp(7P). Since UDP is a non-reliable protocol, a retry mechanism is used to increase reliability. The cldap_setretryinfo(3LDAP) function can be used to set two retry parameters: tries, a count of the number of times to send a search request and timeout, an initial timeout that determines how long to wait for a response before re-trying. timeout is specified seconds. These values are stored in the ld_cldaptries and ld_cldaptimeout members of the ld LDAP structure, and the default val- ues set in ldap_open(3LDAP) are 4 and 3 respectively. The retransmission algorithm used is: Step 1 Set the current timeout to ld_cldaptimeout seconds, and the current LDAP server address to the first LDAP server found during the ldap_open(3LDAP) call. Step 2 Send the search request to the current LDAP server address. Step 3 Set the wait timeout to the current timeout divided by the number of server addresses found during ldap_open(3LDAP) or to one second, whichever is larger. Wait at most that long for a response; if a response is received, STOP. Note that the wait timeout is always rounded down to the next lowest second. Step 4 Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each LDAP server address. Step 5 Set the current timeout to twice its previous value and repeat Steps 2 through 5 a maximum of tries times. EXAMPLES
Assume that the default values for tries and timeout of 4 tries and 3 seconds are used. Further, assume that a space-separated list of two hosts, each with one address, was passed to cldap_open(3LDAP). The pattern of requests sent will be (stopping as soon as a response is received): Time Search Request Sent To: +0 Host A try 1 +1 (0+3/2) Host B try 1 +2 (1+3/2) Host A try 2 +5 (2+6/2) Host B try 2 +8 (5+6/2) Host A try 3 +14 (8+12/2) Host B try 3 +20 (14+12/2) Host A try 4 +32 (20+24/2) Host B try 4 +44 (20+24/2) (give up - no response) ERRORS
cldap_search_s() returns LDAP_SUCCESS if a search was successful and the appropriate LDAP error code otherwise. See ldap_error(3LDAP) for more information. ATTRIBUTES
