Hello,
I've read something about slapd unix socket connection. I noticed about x-mod and permissions, about url-encoding, etc.
However, how do I use ldapi with LDAP C SDK?
To be exact, how do I use unix socket with ldap_init ? What's about bind operation? Does ldap_init supports it? I've read some posts saying that ldapi was to be used for fast and insecure connection which does not require bind operation. Anyway should I care? I mean, is it really somehow faster than tcp socket? My program does about 1-5 searches per it's operation, and there may approx. about 500 "operations" per-second (actually "operation" is http request). There's about 1-10 entries returned per one search. Would it give some real performance boost?
But the posts I've read was quite old, and I coudn't find any usage examples, with or without bind. So, what's the current status and primary usage of ldapi in openldap?
