Issue ID: 9824 Summary: getting/setting LDAP_OPT_X_SASL_ options require call to ldap_initialize Product: OpenLDAP Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: needs_review Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: documentation Assignee: bugs@openldap.org Reporter: jay.hendren@colorado.edu Target Milestone: ---

Originally filed against python-ldap: https://github.com/python-ldap/python-ldap/issues/468

Per "man 3 ldap_get_option", some options can be set globally while others require an initialized LDAP struct:

These routines provide access to options stored either in a LDAP handle or as global options, where applicable.

However, "where applicable" doesn't seem to have any further clarification. In particular, getting or setting any of the "LDAP_OPT_X_SASL_" options appears to require an initialized LDAP struct, as noted in the bug report against python-ldap, whereas most other options do not appear to share this requirement. I cannot find this fact documented anywhere.
