19.9.1.LDAP Client
Virtuoso provides four functions for accessing an LDAP Directory Service:
ldap_search()
|
ldap_delete()
|
ldap_add()
|
ldap_modify()
|
You can call each function independently. Each invocation of a function creates a separate LDAP session which is closed at the end of the operation.
URLs beginning with
ldaps://
invoke a non-conditional SSL operation. Such URLs cannot be used
with the try_tls
flag set.
If the URL does not contain a port number then Virtuoso will use
the default port number 389 for <ldap://> and port number 636
for <ldaps://>.
The username
and
password
optional
parameters are used to bind LDAP connections using basic
authentication. If the operation is permitted to all users then you
can leave these parameters out.
