It varies on the system or OS one is using.2.4.12 implementation looks at a few of these paths

/etc/openldap/ldap.conf

/etc/ldap.conf

/ldaprc

./ldaprc

any where you place will be good to go.

Subject: API to read config file before ldap_search.

Dear friends,

looking to where we could specify config file path to be read by ldapsearch.c to /openldap/ldap.conf

will be trying to pass the query to ldapclient and obtain the result.
should we write program starting from ldap_open , ldap_init, ldap_bind , ldap_search
or
its suffice only by modifying ldapsearch.c.
