Does the v5.08 C SDK support 128-bit SSL connections?
807573Mar 24 2002 — edited Mar 25 2002Is the 5.08 C SDK tested/verified to support 128-bit SSL connections? It does not appear to be the case.
Attempts to use the C SDK (v5.0.8 ) to establish an SSL connection to the directory results in a failure on the ldapssl_client_init() call. This is the first call required for establishing the session. When using a the last version 4 SDK, all that was needed to link the nsldapssl32v41.lib libary to the execultable.
When using the v5.08 SDK, the nsladpssl32v50.lib does not resolve all the required labels to access the LDAP functions. The missing functions include
ldap_value_free
ldap_value_free_len
ldap_err2string
lda-simplebind
ldap_set_option
ldap_count_values_len
as well as others. In order to resole the above missing lables, the nsldap32v50.lib library must aslo be linked. This is not necessary under the v4.1 SDK.
I had three different folks on the team test the SDK. All came back with the same errors. Our environment is NT 4.0 SP6a. We have tested the SDK on UNIX as well with similiar issues.
We were looking to this release to resolve a serious problem we have when establishing SSL connection to the iPlanet Directory and a Domino directory. The order in which the connections are made and maintained impact whether the SDK works or not.
