As was detailed in the “Welcome” chapter, the OLDAP software consists of the external DLL, the middle ware DLLs (windows only) and the example library. The example library demonstrates the use of some of the LDAP functionality. You will require access to an LDAP server to use the examples.
The example library implements a single window that shows you how to connect to an LDAP server, return result sets and query or change LDAP settings.
The external DLL implements a single non-visual object (object subtype LDAPSession) that implements all of the LDAP commands as object methods.
For a description of the methods please read the chapter External Component Reference. Before designing your first LDAP object, please read the chapter Designing OLDAP.
