Ah I see. No such option at this time that I am aware of.

Indeed, similarly to "telnet -b <client-local-address>" or Microsoft LDAP client API function ldap_set_option(LDAP_OPT_SOCKET_BIND_ADDRESSES...) and my system is a multi-homed host.

Thanks for the answer, however the -h <URI/URL> appears to be a server (slapd) option. I'm looking for the LDAP client side which uses OpenLDAP libldap and liblber libraries.
You may wish to more carefully read my response (Hint: -h and -H are not the same thing). You may also wish to refer to the man pages for client utilities such as ldapsearch, (which use the LDAP client side API).
Maybe there's a misunderstanding:
As I read it Daniel asks for setting the client's *out-going* IP address, something like telnet -b <local-address>. Probably he's on a multi-homed host or has a more complicated IP configuration and has to use a specific out-going address for getting his packets accepted by the server.
Ciao, Michael.
