<!-- ============================================================== -->
<p>The <strong>eimCreateHandle()</strong> function is used to allocate
an EimHandle structure, which is used to identify the EIM connection
and to maintain per-connection information. The EimHandle structure
should be passed on subsequent calls to other EIM operations.</p>

<!-- ============================================================== -->
<h3>Authorities and Locks</h3>
<p>If a NULL is not passed for the ldapURL parameter,
then the caller of the API must have *SECADM special authority.</p>

<!-- ============================================================== -->
<h3>Parameters</h3>
<dl>
<!-- ============================================================== -->
<!-- eim -->
<!-- ============================================================== -->
<dt><strong>eim</strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;(Output)</dt>
<dd>
The pointer to an EIM handle to be returned. This handle is used as input
for other EIM APIs. The handle is temporary; you can use it only in the job
that created it.
<br><br></dd>
<!-- ============================================================== -->
<!-- ldapURL -->
<!-- ============================================================== -->
<dt><strong>ldapURL</strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;(Input)</dt>
<dd>A uniform resource locator (URL) that contains the EIM host information.
A NULL parameter indicates that the <samp>ldapURL</samp> information
set by the eimSetConfiguration() API should be used.
This URL has the following format:
<pre>
ldap://host:port/dn
or
ldaps://host:port/dn
</pre>
<p>where:</p>
<ul>
<li><samp>host:port</samp> is the name of the host on which the EIM domain
controller is running with an optional port number.</li>
<li><samp>dn</samp> is the distinguished name of the domain to work with.</li>
<li><samp>ldaps</samp> indicates that this host/port combination uses SSL and
TLS.</li>
</ul>
<p>Examples:</p>
<ul>
<li>ldap://systemx:389/ibm-eimDomainName=myEimDomain,o=myCompany,c=us</li>
<li>ldaps://systemy:636/ibm-eimDomainName=thisEimDomain</li>
</ul>
<br></dd>
<!-- ============================================================== -->
<!-- eimrc -->
<!-- ============================================================== -->
<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 Return Code
Parameter</a>.
<br><br></dd>
</dl>
<!-- ============================================================== -->

<!-- R E T U R N V A L U E -->
<!-- -->
<!-- ============================================================== -->
<h3>Return Value</h3>
<p>The return value from the API. Following each return value is the list of
possible values for the
<samp>messageCatalogMessageID</samp> field in the <em>eimrc</em> parameter
for that value.</p>
