Re: (ITS#6257) libldap: getopt flag to return the SASL username

libldap should be capable of returning SASL username obtained with sasl_getprop( sasl_context, SASL_USERNAME, ... ) as result of ldap_get_option()

Added to HEAD (LDAP_OPT_X_SASL_USERNAME); please test. Thanks, p.

Does it simply return a string like LDAP_OPT_URI, LDAP_OPT_X_TLS_CACERTFILE etc.?

It returns whatever returned by sasl_getprop(); it should be a pointer to a zero-terminated string within the SASL context (you don't have to free it, but it may be invalidated when the context is destroyed).

See ITS#6260 about documenting the behavior with these options :) Note that SASL documentation is itself relatively poor in this area. I could infer the above from code samples 'round, for which is which.
