This feature allows DB-Library (dblib) applications calling dbopen to connect to an Adaptive Server or an Open Server using LDAP directory services. To do so, you must modify the libctl.cfg file in the [DIRECTORY] section, as described in the Open Client and Open Server Configuration Guide for Microsoft Windows. There are no application changes required to use this feature.
The ability to access LDAP already exists in Open Client and Open Server products, and the generic directory service access code exists in netlib. Therefore, applications only need to link to netlib.
Because Sybase is using netlib for
I/O, netlib error messages may be generated
instead of the current DB-Library generated messages.
