<p>The <strong>eimConnectToMaster()</strong> function is used to connect to the
EIM master domain controller. This API should be used if an earlier API
invocation returned a referral error (EROFS). A referral error indicates that
the current EIM connection is to a replication system. An explicit connection
must be made to the master system in order to make updates.</p>
<p>The ldap configuration file is used to retrieve information for the master
host, master port, and secure port. If the host system is not a replica then
the master information retrieved is the same as the host and port defined in
the handle.</p>

<h3>Parameters</h3>
<dl><!-- ============================================================== -->
<!-- eim -->
<!-- ============================================================== -->
<dt><strong>eim</strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;(Input)</dt>
<dd>The EIM handle returned by a previous call to eimCreateHandle().<br>
<br>
</dd>
<!-- ============================================================== -->
<!-- connectInfo -->
<!-- ============================================================== -->
<dt><strong>connectInfo</strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;(Input)</dt>
<dd>Connect information. EIM uses ldap. This parameter provides the information
required to bind to ldap.
<p>If the system is configured to connect to a secure port, EimSSLInfo is
required.</p>
<p>For EIM_SIMPLE connect type, the <samp>creds</samp> field should contain the
EimSimpleConnectInfo structure with a binddn and password. EimPasswordProtect
is used to determine the level of password protection on the ldap bind.</p>
<table cellpadding="5">
<!-- cols="40 60" -->
<tr>
<td align="left" valign="top"><em>EIM_PROTECT_NO (0)</em></td>
<td align="left" valign="top">The clear-text password is sent on the bind.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="left" valign="top"><em>EIM_PROTECT_CRAM_MD5 (1)</em></td>
<td align="left" valign="top">The protected password is sent on the bind. The
server side must support cram-md5 protocol to send the protected password.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="left" valign="top" nowrap><em>EIM_PROTECT_CRAM_MD5_OPTIONAL (2)</em></td>
<td align="left" valign="top">The protected password is sent on the bind if the
cram-md5 protocol is supported. Otherwise, the clear-text password is
sent.</td>
</tr>
</table>
<p>For EIM_KERBEROS, the default logon credentials are used. The <samp>kerberos
creds</samp> field must be NULL.</p>
<p>For EIM_CLIENT_AUTHENTICATION, the <samp>creds</samp> field is ignored.
EimSSLInfo must be provided.</p>
<p>The structure layouts follow:</p>
<pre>
enum EimPasswordProtect {
EIM_PROTECT_NO,
EIM_PROTECT_CRAM_MD5,
EIM_PROTECT_CRAM_MD5_OPTIONAL
};
enum EimConnectType {

</pre>

<!-- ============================================================== -->

<dt><strong>eimrc</strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;(Input/Output)</dt>
<dd>The structure in which to return error code information. If the return
value is not 0, eimrc is set with additional information. This parameter may be
NULL. For the format of the structure, see <a href="eimrc.htm">EimRC--EIM
