I tumbled into the following ITS#4707 thread: Patch: option to bind client socket to an address https://www.openldap.org/lists/openldap-bugs/200610/threads.html#00047

Wasn't this patch integrated into OpenLDAP 2.3.X? I couldn't see it in the 2.4.44 code base.

The notes say it was added for 2.4, but that apparently is incorrect.

"new API added in HEAD/RE24"

The notes say *a* new API was added to 2.4, not necessarily *this* one. And that is true, we added ldap_init_fd() which lets the caller setup their socket any way they please.
