They make use of a neutral interface, where the type of the value either retrieved by .BR ldap_get_option (3) or set by .BR ldap_set_option (3) is cast to .BR "void *" . The actual type is determined based on the value of the .B option argument. Global options are set/retrieved by passing a NULL LDAP handle. .TP .B LDAP_OPT_API_FEATURE_INFO Fills-in a .BR "LDAPAPIFeatureInfo" ; .BR outvalue must be a .BR "LDAPAPIFeatureInfo *" , pointing to an already allocated struct. This is a read-only option. .TP .B LDAP_OPT_API_INFO Fills-in a .BR "LDAPAPIInfo" ; .BR outvalue must be a .BR "LDAPAPIInfo *" , pointing to an already allocated struct. This is a read-only option. .TP .B LDAP_OPT_CLIENT_CONTROLS Sets/gets the client-side controls to be used for all operations. This is now deprecated as modern LDAP C API provides replacements for all main operations which accepts client-side controls as explicit arguments; see for example .BR ldap_search_ext (3), .BR ldap_add_ext (3), .BR ldap_modify_ext (3) and so on. .BR outvalue must be .BR "LDAPControl ***" , and the caller is responsible of freeing the returned controls, if any, by calling .BR ldap_controls_free (3), while .BR invalue must be .BR "LDAPControl *const *" ; the library duplicates the controls passed via .BR invalue . .TP .B LDAP_OPT_CONNECT_ASYNC Sets/gets the status of the asynchronous connect flag. .BR invalue should either be .BR LDAP_OPT_OFF or .BR LDAP_OPT_ON ; .BR outvalue must be .BR "int *" . When set, the library will call .BR connect (2) and return, without waiting for response. This leaves the handle in a connecting state. Subsequent calls to library routines will poll for completion of the connect before performing further operations. As a consequence, library calls that need to establish a connection with a DSA do not block even for the network timeout (option .BR LDAP_OPT_NETWORK_TIMEOUT ). This option is OpenLDAP specific. .TP .B LDAP_OPT_CONNECT_CB This option allows to set a connect callback. .B invalue must be a .BR "const struct ldap_conncb *" . Callbacks are executed in last in-first served order. Handle-specific callbacks are executed first, followed by global ones. Right before freeing the callback structure, the .B lc_del callback handler is passed a .B NULL .BR Sockbuf . Calling .BR ldap_get_option (3) for this option removes the callback whose pointer matches .BR outvalue . This option is OpenLDAP specific. .TP .B LDAP_OPT_DEBUG_LEVEL Sets/gets the debug level of the client library. .BR invalue must be a .BR "const int *" ; .BR outvalue must be a .BR "int *" . Valid debug levels are .BR LDAP_DEBUG_ANY , .BR LDAP_DEBUG_ARGS , .BR LDAP_DEBUG_BER , .BR LDAP_DEBUG_CONNS , .BR LDAP_DEBUG_NONE , .BR LDAP_DEBUG_PACKETS , .BR LDAP_DEBUG_PARSE , and .BR LDAP_DEBUG_TRACE . This option is OpenLDAP specific. .TP .B LDAP_OPT_DEFBASE Sets/gets a string containing the DN to be used as default base for search operations. .BR outvalue must be a .BR "char **" , and the caller is responsible of freeing the returned string by calling .BR ldap_memfree (3), while .BR invalue must be a .BR "const char *" ; the library duplicates the corresponding string. This option is OpenLDAP specific. .TP .B LDAP_OPT_DEREF Sets/gets the value that defines when alias dereferencing must occur. .BR invalue must be .BR "const int *" ; .BR outvalue must be .BR "int *" . They cannot be NULL. The value of .BR *invalue should be one of .BR LDAP_DEREF_NEVER (the default), .BR LDAP_DEREF_SEARCHING , .BR LDAP_DEREF_FINDING , or .BR LDAP_DEREF_ALWAYS . Note that this has ever been the only means to determine alias dereferencing within search operations. .TP .B LDAP_OPT_DESC Returns the file descriptor associated to the socket buffer of the LDAP handle passed in as .BR ld ; .BR outvalue must be a .BR "int *" . This is a read-only, handle-specific option. .TP .B LDAP_OPT_DIAGNOSTIC_MESSAGE Sets/gets a string containing the error string associated to the LDAP handle. This option was formerly known as .BR LDAP_OPT_ERROR_STRING . .BR outvalue must be a .BR "char **" , and the caller is responsible of freeing the returned string by calling .BR ldap_memfree (3), while .BR invalue must be a .BR "char *" ; the library duplicates the corresponding string. .TP .B LDAP_OPT_HOST_NAME Sets/gets a space-separated list of hosts to be contacted by the library when trying to establish a connection. This is now deprecated in favor of .BR LDAP_OPT_URI . .BR outvalue must be a .BR "char **" , and the caller is responsible of freeing the resulting string by calling .BR ldap_memfree (3), while .BR invalue must be a .BR "const char *" ; the library duplicates the corresponding string. .TP .B LDAP_OPT_MATCHED_DN Sets/gets a string containing the matched DN associated to the LDAP handle. .BR outvalue must be a .BR "char **" , and the caller is responsible of freeing the returned string by calling .BR ldap_memfree (3), while .BR invalue must be a .BR "const char *" ; the library duplicates the corresponding string. .TP .B LDAP_OPT_NETWORK_TIMEOUT Sets/gets the network timeout value after which .BR poll (2)/ select (2) following a .BR connect (2) returns in case of no activity. .B outvalue must be a .BR "struct timeval **" (the caller has to free .BR *outvalue ) , and .B invalue must be a .BR "const struct timeval *" . They cannot be NULL. Using a struct with seconds set to \-1 results in an infinite timeout, which is the default. This option is OpenLDAP specific. .TP .B LDAP_OPT_PROTOCOL_VERSION Sets/gets the protocol version. .BR outvalue and .BR invalue must be .BR "int *" . .TP .B LDAP_OPT_REFERRAL_URLS Sets/gets an array containing the referral URIs associated to the LDAP handle. .BR outvalue must be a .BR "char ***" , and the caller is responsible of freeing the returned string by calling .BR ldap_memvfree (3), while .BR invalue must be a NULL-terminated .BR "char *const *" ; the library duplicates the corresponding string. This option is OpenLDAP specific. .TP .B LDAP_OPT_REFERRALS Determines whether the library should implicitly chase referrals or not. .BR invalue must be .BR "const int *" ; its value should either be .BR LDAP_OPT_OFF or .BR LDAP_OPT_ON . .BR outvalue must be .BR "int *" . .\".TP .\".B LDAP_OPT_REFHOPLIMIT .\"This option is OpenLDAP specific. .\"It is not currently implemented. .TP .B LDAP_OPT_RESTART Determines whether the library should implicitly restart connections (FIXME). .BR invalue must be .BR "const int *" ; its value should either be .BR LDAP_OPT_OFF or .BR LDAP_OPT_ON . .BR outvalue must be .BR "int *" . .TP .B LDAP_OPT_RESULT_CODE Sets/gets the LDAP result code associated to the handle. This option was formerly known as .BR LDAP_OPT_ERROR_NUMBER . .BR invalue must be a .BR "const int *" . .BR outvalue must be a .BR "int *" . .TP .B LDAP_OPT_SERVER_CONTROLS Sets/gets the server-side controls to be used for all operations. This is now deprecated as modern LDAP C API provides replacements for all main operations which accepts server-side controls as explicit arguments; see for example .BR ldap_search_ext (3), .BR ldap_add_ext (3), .BR ldap_modify_ext (3) and so on. .BR outvalue must be .BR "LDAPControl ***" , and the caller is responsible of freeing the returned controls, if any, by calling .BR ldap_controls_free (3), while .BR invalue must be .BR "LDAPControl *const *" ; the library duplicates the controls passed via .BR invalue . .TP .B LDAP_OPT_SIZELIMIT Sets/gets the value that defines the maximum number of entries to be returned by a search operation. .BR invalue must be .BR "const int *" , while .BR outvalue must be .BR "int *" ; They cannot be NULL. .TP .B LDAP_OPT_SOCKBUF Returns a pointer to the socket buffer of the LDAP handle passed in as .BR ld ; .BR outvalue must be a .BR "Sockbuf **" . This is a read-only, handle-specific option. This option is OpenLDAP specific. .TP .B LDAP_OPT_TIMELIMIT Sets/gets the value that defines the time limit after which a search operation should be terminated by the server. .BR invalue must be .BR "const int *" , while .BR outvalue must be .BR "int *" , and they cannot be NULL. .TP .B LDAP_OPT_TIMEOUT Sets/gets a timeout value for the synchronous API calls. .B outvalue must be a .BR "struct timeval **" (the caller has to free .BR *outvalue ) , and .B invalue must be a .BR "struct timeval *" , and they cannot be NULL. Using a struct with seconds set to \-1 results in an infinite timeout, which is the default. This option is OpenLDAP specific. .TP .B LDAP_OPT_URI Sets/gets a comma- or space-separated list of URIs to be contacted by the library when trying to establish a connection. .BR outvalue must be a .BR "char **" , and the caller is responsible of freeing the resulting string by calling .BR ldap_memfree (3), while .BR invalue must be a .BR "const char *" ; the library parses the string into a list of .BR LDAPURLDesc structures, so the invocation of .BR ldap_set_option (3) may fail if URL parsing fails. URIs may only contain the .BR schema , the .BR host , and the .BR port fields. This option is OpenLDAP specific. .SH SASL OPTIONS The SASL options are OpenLDAP specific. .TP .B LDAP_OPT_X_SASL_AUTHCID Gets the SASL authentication identity; .BR outvalue must be a .BR "char **" , its content needs to be freed by the caller using .BR ldap_memfree (3). .TP .B LDAP_OPT_X_SASL_AUTHZID Gets the SASL authorization identity; .BR outvalue must be a .BR "char **" , its content needs to be freed by the caller using .BR ldap_memfree (3). .TP .B LDAP_OPT_X_SASL_MAXBUFSIZE Gets/sets SASL maximum buffer size; .BR invalue must be .BR "const ber_len_t *" , while .BR outvalue must be .BR "ber_len_t *" .

The caller must not free or otherwise muck with it. .TP .B LDAP_OPT_X_SASL_NOCANON Sets/gets the NOCANON flag. When unset, the hostname is canonicalized. .BR invalue must be .BR "const int *" ; its value should either be .BR LDAP_OPT_OFF or .BR LDAP_OPT_ON . .BR outvalue must be .BR "int *" . .TP .B LDAP_OPT_X_SASL_REALM Gets the SASL realm; .BR outvalue must be a .BR "char **" , its content needs to be freed by the caller using .BR ldap_memfree (3). .TP .B LDAP_OPT_X_SASL_SECPROPS Sets the SASL secprops; .BR invalue must be a .BR "char *" , containing a comma-separated list of properties. Legal values are: .BR none , .BR nodict , .BR noplain , .BR noactive , .BR passcred , .BR forwardsec , .BR noanonymous , .BR minssf=<minssf> , .BR maxssf=<maxssf> , .BR maxbufsize=<maxbufsize> . .TP .B LDAP_OPT_X_SASL_SSF Gets the SASL SSF; .BR outvalue must be a .BR "ber_len_t *" . .TP .B LDAP_OPT_X_SASL_SSF_EXTERNAL Sets the SASL SSF value related to an authentication performed using an EXTERNAL mechanism; .BR invalue must be a .BR "const ber_len_t *" . .TP .B LDAP_OPT_X_SASL_SSF_MAX Gets/sets SASL maximum SSF; .BR invalue must be .BR "const ber_len_t *" , while .BR outvalue must be .BR "ber_len_t *" .

See also .BR LDAP_OPT_X_SASL_SECPROPS . .TP .B LDAP_OPT_X_SASL_USERNAME Gets the SASL username; .BR outvalue must be a .BR "char **" . Its content needs to be freed by the caller using .BR ldap_memfree (3). .SH TCP OPTIONS The TCP options are OpenLDAP specific. Mainly intended for use with Linux, they may not be portable. .TP .B LDAP_OPT_X_KEEPALIVE_IDLE Sets/gets the number of seconds a connection needs to remain idle before TCP starts sending keepalive probes. .BR invalue must be .BR "const int *" ; .BR outvalue must be .BR "int *" . .TP .B LDAP_OPT_X_KEEPALIVE_PROBES Sets/gets the maximum number of keepalive probes TCP should send before dropping the connection. .BR invalue must be .BR "const int *" ; .BR outvalue must be .BR "int *" . .TP .B LDAP_OPT_X_KEEPALIVE_INTERVAL Sets/gets the interval in seconds between individual keepalive probes. .BR invalue must be .BR "const int *" ; .BR outvalue must be .BR "int *" . .SH TLS OPTIONS The TLS options are OpenLDAP specific. .\".TP .\".B LDAP_OPT_X_TLS .\"Sets/gets the TLS mode. .TP .B LDAP_OPT_X_TLS_CACERTDIR Sets/gets the path of the directory containing CA certificates. .BR invalue must be .BR "const char *" ; .BR outvalue must be .BR "char **" , and its contents need to be freed by the caller using .BR ldap_memfree (3). .TP .B LDAP_OPT_X_TLS_CACERTFILE Sets/gets the full-path of the CA certificate file. .BR invalue must be .BR "const char *" ; .BR outvalue must be .BR "char **" , and its contents need to be freed by the caller using .BR ldap_memfree (3). .TP .B LDAP_OPT_X_TLS_CERTFILE Sets/gets the full-path of the certificate file. .BR invalue must be .BR "const char *" ; .BR outvalue must be .BR "char **" , and its contents need to be freed by the caller using .BR ldap_memfree (3). .TP .B LDAP_OPT_X_TLS_CIPHER_SUITE Sets/gets the allowed cipher suite. .BR invalue must be .BR "const char *" ; .BR outvalue must be .BR "char **" , and its contents need to be freed by the caller using .BR ldap_memfree (3). .TP .B LDAP_OPT_X_TLS_CONNECT_ARG Sets/gets the connection callback argument. .BR invalue must be .BR "const void *" ; .BR outvalue must be .BR "void **" . .TP .B LDAP_OPT_X_TLS_CONNECT_CB Sets/gets the connection callback handle. .BR invalue must be .BR "const LDAP_TLS_CONNECT_CB *" ; .BR outvalue must be .BR "LDAP_TLS_CONNECT_CB **" . .TP .B LDAP_OPT_X_TLS_CRLCHECK Sets/gets the CRL evaluation strategy, one of .BR LDAP_OPT_X_TLS_CRL_NONE , .BR LDAP_OPT_X_TLS_CRL_PEER , or .BR LDAP_OPT_X_TLS_CRL_ALL . .BR invalue must be .BR "const int *" ; .BR outvalue must be .BR "int *" . Requires OpenSSL. .TP .B LDAP_OPT_X_TLS_CRLFILE Sets/gets the full-path of the CRL file. .BR invalue must be .BR "const char *" ; .BR outvalue must be .BR "char **" , and its contents need to be freed by the caller using .BR ldap_memfree (3).

New TLS sessions will inherit their default settings from this library context. .BR invalue must be .BR "const void *" ; .BR outvalue must be .BR "void **" . When using the OpenSSL library this is an SSL_CTX*. When using other crypto libraries this is a pointer to an OpenLDAP private structure. Applications generally should not use this option or attempt to manipulate this structure. .TP .B LDAP_OPT_X_TLS_DHFILE Gets/sets the full-path of the file containing the parameters for Diffie-Hellman ephemeral key exchange. .BR invalue must be .BR "const char *" ; .BR outvalue must be .BR "char **" , and its contents need to be freed by the caller using .BR ldap_memfree (3). Ignored by GnuTLS. .TP .B LDAP_OPT_X_TLS_KEYFILE Sets/gets the full-path of the certificate key file. .BR invalue must be .BR "const char *" ; .BR outvalue must be .BR "char **" , and its contents need to be freed by the caller using .BR ldap_memfree (3). .TP .B LDAP_OPT_X_TLS_NEWCTX Instructs the library to create a new TLS library context. .BR invalue must be .BR "const int *" . A non-zero value pointed to by .BR invalue tells the library to create a context for a server. .TP .B LDAP_OPT_X_TLS_PROTOCOL_MIN Sets/gets the minimum protocol version. .BR invalue must be .BR "const int *" ; .BR outvalue must be .BR "int *" . .TP .B LDAP_OPT_X_TLS_RANDOM_FILE Sets/gets the random file when .B /dev/random and .B /dev/urandom are not available. .BR invalue must be .BR "const char *" ; .BR outvalue must be .BR "char **" , and its contents need to be freed by the caller using .BR ldap_memfree (3).

When using the OpenSSL library this is an SSL*. When using other crypto libraries this is a pointer to an OpenLDAP private structure. Applications generally should not use this option. .SH ERRORS On success, the functions return .BR LDAP_OPT_SUCCESS , while they may return .B LDAP_OPT_ERROR to indicate a generic option handling error. Occasionally, more specific errors can be returned, like .B LDAP_NO_MEMORY to indicate a failure in memory allocation. .SH NOTES The LDAP libraries with the .B LDAP_OPT_REFERRALS option set to .B LDAP_OPT_ON (default value) automatically follow referrals using an anonymous bind. Application developers are encouraged to either implement consistent referral chasing features, or explicitly disable referral chasing by setting that option to .BR LDAP_OPT_OFF . .P The protocol version used by the library defaults to LDAPv2 (now historic), which corresponds to the .B LDAP_VERSION2 macro. Application developers are encouraged to explicitly set .B LDAP_OPT_PROTOCOL_VERSION to LDAPv3, using the .B LDAP_VERSION3 macro, or to allow users to select the protocol version. .SH SEE ALSO .BR ldap (3), .BR ldap_error (3), .B RFC 4422 (http://www.rfc-editor.org), .SH ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS .lf 1 ../Project .\" Shared Project Acknowledgement Text .B "OpenLDAP Software" is developed and maintained by The OpenLDAP Project <http://www.openldap.org/>. .B "OpenLDAP Software" is derived from University of Michigan LDAP 3.3 Release. .lf 780 -
