Hi everyone, I have to write a very basic LDAP client using an SDK for a university project. After researching SDKs, the Mozilla C LDAP SDK seems to be the best choice. I have had some experience with writing software to access LDAP during my industry placement. There we used Perl and its Net::LDAP modules to script changes and maintain a web interface which was fairly easy.
I would now like to make an application that is capable of the basic search, modify and delete functions when pointed at an LDAP server. I would like it to be written in C and either for Mac OSX or Windows XP. So my question really is where do I start? Sorry for the very open question but my research thus far has left me really very confused. People talk about compiling LDAP libraries but which libraries? Am I to include all the files I download from the Mozilla SDK in a new project or so I compile these files and build something from the resulting program. I'm not asking for anyone to do my assignment for me or even give me any code but a point in the right direction would be greatly appreciated! Thanks guys Zeb
