I've spent the past few days rooting around the openldap site. I am developing currently on Debian lenny using the libldap2-dev package. My small goal is to try and write my own rootdse program to better understand the lib. I am stuck on one piece of code. I have no idea where to get an LDIF library to parse/write ldif files.
Can anyone point me in the right direction on this? It's been a long time since I was coding in C and it took me a while just to gather that I needed -lldap to make what I have work.
I believe this is the only piece I'm missing, the LDAP library calls work flawlessly. I also did learn that many of the depreciated functions are still documented as valid functions (ldap_get_values, ldap_count_values, ldap_value_free). I couldn't find anything that replaced these..
There is no complete library for LDIF parsing in OpenLDAP; probably there needs to be one. You should just copy the code in clients/tools/ldapmodify.c in the meantime. And you should read clients/tools/ldapsearch.c, regarding the other functions you mentioned.
