You can give an ldapi URI in hostname field. According to Net::LDAP following should be possible there: You can also specify a URI, such as 'ldaps://127.0.0.1:666' or 'ldapi://%2fvar%2flib%2fldap_sock'.

If port was not specified in the URI, the default is either 389 or 636 for 'LDAP' and 'LDAPS' schemes respectively. I don't haven an ldaps server available, so please try this out and tell me whether it works for you. Tscho Roland pgp81D6hYhQ9m.pgp Description: PGP signature

Here is my config:
$ldap_server = 'ldaps://santiago.connexer.com';
$search_base = 'ou=Addressbook,dc=connexer,dc=com';
$ldap_search_fields = 'givenname sn cn mail';
$ldap_expected_answers = 'givenname sn cn mail';
$ldap_result_email = '${mail}';
$ldap_result_realname = '${givenname} ${sn}';
$ldap_result_comment = '(LDAP)';
$ignorant = 0;
$ldap_bind_dn = '';
$ldap_bind_password = '';
This works for me both on Sarge and on Etch.
Just to clarify, though, you are saying that with the new version I
should be able to specify 'ldapi://%2fvar%2frun%2fldapi' and have it
connect to a slapd running on the local host?
