Hello,
I'm hoping some Directory SDK experts might help me out.
Basically I'm trying to connect to LDAP with SSL. According to the "Netscape
LDAP SDK 4.1" docs, ldapssl_client_init() and ldapssl_init() are the
suggested functions. They even provide some sample code and it all works
great.
http://docs.iplanet.com/docs/manuals/dirsdk/csdk41/html/ssl.htm#13067
However, if you drill down and look at the ldapssl_client_init()
documentations it says "The use of ldapssl_pkcs_init(), a version 4.0
function, is recommended over the use of this older SSL initialization
function."
http://docs.iplanet.com/docs/manuals/dirsdk/csdk41/html/function.htm#25963
Drilling down on the ldapssl_pkcs_init() function it says, "The function
ldap_pcks_init() [yes, that is a typo in the documentation] is preferred
over these previous initialization because it is thread-safe, while the
other ldapssl_*_init() functions are not." So of course I plan on using the
ldapssl_pkcs_init() function instead.
http://docs.iplanet.com/docs/manuals/dirsdk/csdk41/html/function.htm#1011532
The ldap_pkcs_init() function takes a single parameter,
int LDAP_CALL ldapssl_pkcs_init(const struct ldapssl_pkcs_fns *pfns);
The structure ldapssl_pkcs_fns is defined as...
typedef int (LDAP_PKCS_GET_TOKEN_CALLBACK)(void *context, char **tokenname);
typedef int (LDAP_PKCS_GET_PIN_CALLBACK)(void *context, const char
*tokenname, char **tokenpin);
typedef int (LDAP_PKCS_GET_CERTPATH_CALLBACK)(void *context, char
**certpath);
typedef int (LDAP_PKCS_GET_KEYPATH_CALLBACK)(void *context,char **keypath);
typedef int (LDAP_PKCS_GET_MODPATH_CALLBACK)(void *context, char
**modulepath);
typedef int (LDAP_PKCS_GET_CERTNAME_CALLBACK)(void *context, char
**certname);
typedef int (LDAP_PKCS_GET_DONGLEFILENAME_CALLBACK)(void *context, char
**filename);
#define PKCS_STRUCTURE_ID 1
struct ldapssl_pkcs_fns {
int local_structure_id;
void *local_data;
LDAP_PKCS_GET_CERTPATH_CALLBACK *pkcs_getcertpath;
LDAP_PKCS_GET_CERTNAME_CALLBACK *pkcs_getcertname;
LDAP_PKCS_GET_KEYPATH_CALLBACK *pkcs_getkeypath;
LDAP_PKCS_GET_MODPATH_CALLBACK *pkcs_getmodpath;
LDAP_PKCS_GET_PIN_CALLBACK *pkcs_getpin;
LDAP_PKCS_GET_TOKEN_CALLBACK *pkcs_gettokenname;
LDAP_PKCS_GET_DONGLEFILENAME_CALLBACK *pkcs_getdonglefilename;
};
There is no explanation how to fill this structure, nowhere does it describe
what the contact void pointer is in each function parameter.
On a SDK 4.0 release notes page
http://www.mit.edu/afs/athena/astaff/project/ldap/mozilla2k/sdkc4.0/relnotes
.htm I found this link...
http://home.netscape.com/eng/server/directory/4.1/technotes/ldap_pkcs_init.h
tml
but it no longer exists.
Any help with the ldapssl_pkcs_init function or the ldapssl_pkcs_fns
structure would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mark
