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).

New subject: Client binding to a specific local address
I'm working on an embedded LDAP application software that makes use of the OpenLDAP
client ldap and lber libraries, not the LDAP client command-line utilities. For that
reason, I didn't look into the client utilities and narrowly thought of slapd -h
(where -H option doesn't exist).
I see the client utilities ldapsearch, ldapadd, ldapmodify... have the [-H ldapuri]
option, but the library functions ldap_search, ldap_search_ext, ldap_add, ldap_add_ext,
ldap_modify, ldap_modify_ext, etc. don't have an equivalent input argument. Is it
correct that no client library function supports specification of a local IP address?
Daniel

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.

New subject: Client binding to a specific local address
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.
