library

[Friedrich Locke]

Hi folks,

i would like to write a library that implements ldap client connection to
the server, as usual, the default routines:

connect
bind
search
unbind
etc ...

I wonder if there is a documentation showing how data is encoded with asn.1
ber encoding.

Thanks a lot.

Here's some design points to keep in mind so you don't make the same mistakes
as current libldap does.

Rules for BER are in X.690. You can download the latest spec for free from the
ITU-T.

ber encoding. Look up "A Layman's Guide to a Subset of ASN.1, BER, and

DER" for an intro to those. It's a bit sloppy, but OK for LDAP. The ASN.1
grammar or LDAPv3 is mostly in RFC 4511. [...]

The ASN.1 grammar or LDAPv3 is mostly in RFC 4511.

OpenLDAP's liblber (lber.h) takes care of encoding/decoding.
See man -k lber, and man ber_printf and ber_scanf, among others.
