LdapConnectSSL

Syntax

LdapConnectSSL(connName, hostName, user, password);

connName	A name you specify which will be used in all the following LDAP functions to identify which server they will access.
hostName	The name of the server to which you want to establish a connection. The default port is 636, but can be overridden using the host:port syntax in the host name.
user	The user ID to log on to the server.
password	The logon password to the server.

Description

Connects to the directory server using an encrypted connection. To use the LdapConnectSSL function, the following argument must have been entered in the argument file:

-ldapSslCertDb <path> specifying the path to the cert7.db certificate database

You do not need to use LdapConnectSSL for every script function. Once the server connection is established, it will only be closed when you apply the LdapDisconnect function, or when the job completes.

To establish a secure LDAP connection that is not closed when the job completes, see LdapConnectSSLPersistent.

Returns

	A connection to the server has been established successfully.
-1	Error. No connection to the server could be established.

Example

LdapConnectSSL("con", "U-Stor-It.company.com:4205", "cn=Directory Manager","streamserve");

In this example, an encrypted connection is established to the LDAP server on the machine named U-Stor-It.company.com. The connection is given the name con and attaches to the port 4205.

Note:

The common name (cn) consists of the first and last names of the user.
