Hello,
In investigating further, I see the calls in ldapssl_basic_init to
PR_Init and PR_SetConcurrency. explaining the extra NSPR threads when
running in SSL mode. From further reading about NSPR, I'm starting to
get the impression that there's a "proper" usage model for the LDAP SDK.
I'd never noticed anything about this in the docs, but if any of you can
point me to a relevant section, I'd appreciate it.
Can any of you confirm whether the following usage is ok:
MAIN APP START
- ldapssl_advclientauth_init()
START THREAD X
- either call ldapssl_init or ldap_init
- ldap_simple_bind
- exit thread X
START THREAD Y
- execute LDAP queries
- exit thread Y
START THREAD Z
- ldap_unbind
- ldapssl_shutdown (only if I was using SSL)
MAIN APP EXIT
- do nothing
I guess I'm just asking whether ldapssl_advclientauth_init should always
be called during my main app startup in the main thread, regardless of
whether I'm planning to use SSL or not? Then, as my app runs and I
periodically connect or disconnect from the LDAP server, does the
sequence between threads X, Y, and Z make sense? And lastly, I can't
find any sort of special cleanup in the LDAP SDK to do on app exit. Is
there something recommended that I do?
I appreciate the guidance!
- Matthew
