Hi all, I am trying to use openldap api's to connect to ldap from my code. I tried to connect to ldap server 1,00,000 times(just intiliazing , binding and unbinding) Intilaly Binding to the ldap server works fine, but after some time say after reaching more than 10,000 binds. bind continously fails with below error . "Can't connect to the LDAP server - Cannot assign requested address". and error number is 91 below is my code snapshot. int main() { int ret,version,i; i=0; LDAP *ld=0; while(100000) { const char *s=0; cout<<"count is "<<i++<<endl; ld=ldap_init(HOSTNAME,PORTNUMBER); // HOSTNAME and PORTNUMBER are defined if(ld == NULL) { cout<<" error in initiliaze "<<endl; return 2; } ret=ldap_simple_bind_s(ld,"",""); ldap_perror(ld,s); if(ret != LDAP_SUCCESS) { cout<<" error in bin "<<ret<<endl; cout<<ldap_err2string(ret)<<" is the error"<<endl; } else { cout<<"bind success "<<endl; } ldap_unbind(ld); ld=NULL; } return 0; } i am clue less why this happened. Is there any restriction or bug (already present) that only certain number of binds are possible in a given time. Your help will be highly help full in my further proceedings. Regards, Bharath.
