ldap_explode_dn

The ldap_explode_dn function breaks up an entry name into its component parts.

PCHAR* ldap_explode_dn(
  PCHAR dn,
  ULONG notypes 
);

Parameters

dn

[in] The distinguished name to explode.

notypes

[in] Indicates whether the type information components should be removed.

Return Values

If the function succeeds, it returns a null-terminated character array containing the relative distinguished name components of the distinguished name supplied.

Remarks

Call ldap_explode_dn to separate a distinguished name into its component parts. Set the notypes parameter to a nonzero value to remove type information, such as "cn=" from the components. The components of the relative distinguished name are returned in a character array. Free this array when it is no longer needed by calling ldap_value_free.
