Compiling and Linking

To define the LDAP version of an application, call ldap_set_option with LDAP_OPT_VERSION and the appropriate option value. The default value is LDAP_VERSION2.

The header file Winldap.h contains declarations for the Microsoft® implementation of the LDAP API. Include the header file Winsock2.h to add protocol and connection definitions.

Link to the LDAP import library Wldap.dll.

DLL: %systemroot%\system32\wldap32.dll

LIB: wldap32.lib

Ensure that the client application can find the library by:

• Copying the library to the same folder as the client executable.
• Copying the library to the system folder. -or-
• Setting the PATH environment variable.
