Hi,
Is there an API to bind client to a local IP address? If not, how best to directly handle a BER socket for such purpose? The reason is to direct traffic to go through a specific interface of a host that has multiple NICs. There is no option in ldap_set_option() for address binding. I found the thread "listener question" from the OpenLDAP Technical archives which asked a similar question, but not exactly the same.
Use the IP address as the URI, like -H ldap://1.2.3.4:389

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.
