ldap_set_option() and ldap_get_option() have many strange behaviors.
Which of these should I document, which should be changed, and which
options and nuances below should just be omitted from the man page?
(I'm reading some libldap source and
doc/drafts/draft-ietf-ldapext-ldap-c-api-xx.txt.)
* ldap.conf vs. C API:
ldap.conf options BINDDN, BASE, PORT have no equivalent C API calls.
ldap.conf options SASL_AUTHCID, SASL_AUTHZID, SASL_MECH, SASL_REALM
cannot be set with the C API.
I think it would be a very good idea to make all options settable in
ldap.conf also settable through C API .
Otherwise OpenLDAP forces all applications that use libldap to also use
ldap.conf, which might be unacceptable when an application has own
configuration system.
