<p>The <strong>ldap_compare_s()</strong> function is used to perform an LDAP
compare operation. The API uses as input the distinguished name (DN) of the
entry on which to perform the compare, and uses an <em>attr</em> and <em>
value</em> (the attribute type and value to compare to those found in the
entry).</p>
<p>Binary values are not supported by this API. Use <a href=
"ldap_cmp_ext_s.htm">ldap_compare_ext_s()</a> if binary values must be
compared. <strong>ldap_compare_s()</strong> is a synchronous request.</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 (DN) of the entry upon which to perform the
compare.<br><br></dd>
<dt><strong><em>attr</em></strong></dt>
<dd>(Input) The attribute type to use in the comparison.<br><br></dd>
<dt><strong><em>value</em></strong></dt>
<dd>(Input) The string attribute value to compare against the value in the
entry.</dd>
</dl>
<br>
<h3>Return Value</h3>
<dl>
<dt><strong>LDAP_COMPARE_TRUE</strong></dt>
<dd>if the entry contains the attribute value.<br>
<br>
</dd>
<dt><strong>LDAP_COMPARE_FALSE</strong></dt>
<dd>if the entry does not contain the attribute value.<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_compare_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>
<br>
<h3>Error Messages</h3>
