Some time agone, I had a jolly good time trying to get the LDAP client
on the "i" to work to look up a current email address just to verify it
existed!
One obstacle was that there were some misleading messages returned
sometimes, like an entry wasn't there, which I subsequently found out
was just a matter of certain kinds of permissions on the AD side! Argh!
Plus, the AD techs tend to talk a Microsoft language instead of LDAP
language. (Surprise!)
It helped make some progress when we tried different things right on the
QShell command line, it's easier to try this and that, and then you get
something that works and incorporate it into your API code.
So make sure you have all the permissions from your AD guys first.
Here, I discovered they were regularly (nightly?) uploading an email
whitelist to the email provider (AT&T) so I just gave them an FTP script
to send the same file to the IFS on one of our systems, then parsed it
all out from there to a database file, and just checked that.

Subject: RPG Code calling C API calling Active Directory FAILURE
I have tried many code segments from various posters in this forum. I
appreciate the help. My IS department cannot figure out why the RPG
calling the LDAP C API going against AD does not work nor does the
packet get there. It works in the scenario of RPG to LDAP. There are no
port mapping or IP restrictions.
We get Operations Error every call regardless of the decoration or how
we call it. We tested the AD using an LDAP browser and the AD is fine.
Thanks for your help in this post.
