Accessing an LDAP-compliant server

EGL provides a code sample that you can customize to retrieve security or other details from a server accessed by way of Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP).

When you are creating a new EGL project whose code will access an LDAP-compliant server, select the EGL project feature EGL with LDAP Support by updating an Advanced Setting. Similarly, when you are adding LDAP support to an existing project, add the EGL project feature EGL with LDAP Support from the Properties of the project. The effect in each case is to add the server-access files LDAPExternalTypes.egl and LDAPLib.egl to the project.

For more information about LDAP, see Sample: EGL LDAP access.

The keystroke details for an existing project are as follows:
  1. In the Project Explorer view, right-click the project and then click Properties.
  2. In the Properties window, click EGL Project Features.
  3. Select the EGL with LDAP support check box
  4. Click OK.
