<p>The <strong>ldap_bind_s()</strong> function provide synchronous general
authentication routines, where in principle an authentication method can be
chosen. In this toolkit, method must be set to <strong>
LDAP_AUTH_SIMPLE</strong>.</p>
<p>The <strong>ldap_bind_s()</strong> function is used to authenticate a
distinguished name (DN) to a directory server. When connecting to an LDAP V2
server, after a connection is made by using the <strong>ldap_open()</strong>
API, an LDAP bind API must be called before any other LDAP APIs can be called
for that connection. Binding the connection is not required for LDAP V3.</p>
<p><strong>ldap_bind_s()</strong> is synchronous request.</p>
<p>Since this APIs is deprecated, <a href="ldap_simple_bind_s.htm">
ldap_simple_bind_s()</a> should be used instead.</p>
<br>
<h3>Authorities and Locks</h3>
<p>No i5/OS authority is required. All authority checking is done by the LDAP
server.</p>
<br>
<h3>Parameters</h3>
<dl>
<dt><strong><em>ld</em></strong></dt>
<dd>(Input) The LDAP pointer returned by a previous call to <a href=
"ldap_init.htm">ldap_init()</a>, <a href="ldap_ssl_init.htm">
ldap_ssl_init()</a>, or <a href="ldap_open.htm">ldap_open()</a>.<br><br></dd>
<dt><strong><em>dn</em></strong></dt>
<dd>(Input) The distinguished name of the entry to bind as.<br><br></dd>
<dt><strong><em>cred</em></strong></dt>
<dd>(Input) The credentials with which to authenticate. Arbitrary credentials
can be passed using this parameter. In most cases, this is the user's
password.<br><br></dd>
<dt><strong><em>method</em></strong></dt>
<dd>(Input) Selects the authentication method to use. Specify <strong>
LDAP_AUTH_SIMPLE</strong> for simple authentication. Simple authentication is
the only supported method.</dd>
</dl>
<p>Note that use of the <strong>ldap_bind_s()</strong> APIs is deprecated.</p>
<br>
<h3>Return Value</h3>
<dl>
<dt><strong>LDAP_SUCCESS</strong></dt>
<dd>if the request was successful.<br>
<br>
</dd>
<dt><strong>another LDAP error code</strong></dt>
<dd>if the request was not successful.</dd>
</dl>
<br>
<h3>Error Conditions</h3>
<p>The <strong>ldap_bind_s()</strong> API will return an LDAP error code if not
successful. See <a href="ldap_error_condt.htm">LDAP Client API Error
Conditions</a> for possible LDAP error code values.</p>
