ldap_add_ext_s

The ldap_add_ext_s function initiates a synchronous add operation to a tree. For an add operation to succeed, the parent of the entry being added must already exist or the parent must be empty (equal to the distinguished name of the root).

ULONG ldap_add_ext_s(
  LDAP* ld,
  PCHAR dn,
  LDAPMod* attrs[] 
  PLDAPControl* ServerControls,
  PLDAPControl* ClientControls
);

Parameters

ld

[in] The session handle.

dn

[in] The distinguished name of the entry to add.

attrs

[in] An array of pointers to LDAPMod structures. Each structure specifies a single attribute. See Remarks for more information.

ServerControls

[in] A list of LDAP server controls.

ClientControls

[in] A list of client controls.

Return Values

If the function succeeds, the return value is LDAP_SUCCESS.

If the function fails, it returns an error code. See Return Values for more information.

Remarks

The parameters and effects of ldap_add_ext_s subsume those of ldap_add_s. The extended routine includes additional parameters to support client and server controls.

Before calling ldap_add_ext_s, you must create an entry by specifying its attributes in LDAPMod structures. Set the mod_op member of the each structure to LDAP_MOD_ADD, and set the mod_type and mod_vals members as appropriate for your entry.

Upon completion of the add operation, ldap_add_ext_s returns to the caller. Use ldap_add_ext if you prefer to have the operation carried out asynchronously.

Multithreading: Calls to ldap_add_ext_s are thread-safe.

Note  When connecting to an LDAP 2 server, the application must perform a bind operation (by calling one of the ldap_bind or ldap_simple_bind routines) before attempting other operations.
