Bind Method

Connects and binds to the directory server.

Syntax

int Bind();

Remarks

This method connects and binds to the directory server. If the Password property has a value, it is used for authentication. If not, the Bind is performed anonymously. Binding is often required on some directory servers like Active Directory. The result of the operation is returned via the Result event.

Example (Binding)


LDAPControl.DN = "uid=TThompson,ou=Employees,dc=server"
LDAPControl.Password = "mypassword"
LDAPControl.Bind()

LDAPControl.DN = "Domain/Username"
LDAPControl.Password = "mypassword"
LDAPControl.Bind()

Error Handling

This method returns a result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the GetLastErrorCode() method after it returns.)
