.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
These routines provide various interfaces to the LDAP bind operation.
After an association with an LDAP server is made using
.BR ldap_init (3),
an LDAP bind operation should be performed before other operations are
attempted over the connection.  An LDAP bind is required when using
Version 2 of the LDAP protocol; it is optional for Version 3 but is
usually needed due to security considerations.
.LP
There are three types of bind calls, ones providing simple authentication,
ones providing SASL authentication, and general routines capable of doing
either simple or SASL authentication.
.LP
.B SASL
(Simple Authentication and Security Layer)
can negotiate one of many different kinds of authentication.
Both synchronous and asynchronous versions of each variant of the bind
call are provided.  All routines
take \fIld\fP as their first parameter, as returned from
.BR ldap_init (3).
.SH SIMPLE AUTHENTICATION
The simplest form of the bind call is
.BR ldap_simple_bind_s() .
It takes the DN to bind as in \fIwho\fP, and the userPassword associated
with the entry in \fIpasswd\fP.  It returns an LDAP error indication
(see
.BR ldap_error (3)).
The
.B ldap_simple_bind()
call is asynchronous,
taking the same parameters but only initiating the bind operation and
returning the message id of the request it sent.  The result of the
operation can be obtained by a subsequent call to
.BR ldap_result (3).
The
.B ldap_sasl_bind_s()
and asynchronous
.B ldap_sasl_bind()
functions can also be used to make a simple bind by using
LDAP_SASL_SIMPLE as the SASL mechanism.
.SH GENERAL AUTHENTICATION
The
.B ldap_bind()
and
.B ldap_bind_s()
routines can be used when the
authentication method to use needs to be selected at runtime.  They
both take an extra \fImethod\fP parameter selecting the authentication
method to use.  It should be set to LDAP_AUTH_SIMPLE
to select simple authentication.
.B ldap_bind()
returns the message id of the request it initiates.
.B ldap_bind_s()
returns an LDAP error indication.
.SH SASL AUTHENTICATION
For SASL binds the server always ignores any provided DN, so the
.I dn
parameter should always be NULL.
.BR ldap_sasl_bind_s ()
sends a single SASL bind request with the given SASL
.I mechanism
and credentials in the
.I cred
parameter. The format of the credentials depends on the particular
SASL mechanism in use. For mechanisms that provide mutual authentication
the server's credentials will be returned in the
.I servercredp
parameter.
The routine returns an LDAP error indication (see
.BR ldap_error (3)).
The
.BR ldap_sasl_bind ()
call is asynchronous, taking the same parameters but only sending the
request and returning the message id of the request it sent. The result of
the operation can be obtained by a subsequent
call to
.BR ldap_result (3).
The result must be additionally parsed by
.BR ldap_parse_sasl_bind_result ()
to obtain any server credentials sent from the server.
.LP
Many SASL mechanisms require multiple message exchanges to perform a
complete authentication. Applications should generally use
.BR ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s ()
rather than calling the basic
.BR ldap_sasl_bind ()
functions directly. The
.I mechs
parameter should contain a space-separated list of candidate mechanisms
to use. If this parameter is NULL or empty the library will query
the supportedSASLMechanisms attribute from the server's rootDSE
for the list of SASL mechanisms the server supports. The
.I flags
parameter controls the interaction used to retrieve any necessary
SASL authentication parameters and should be one of:
.TP
LDAP_SASL_AUTOMATIC
use defaults if available, prompt otherwise
.TP
LDAP_SASL_INTERACTIVE
always prompt
.TP
LDAP_SASL_QUIET
never prompt
.LP
The
.I interact
function uses the provided
.I defaults
to handle requests from the SASL library for particular authentication
parameters. There is no defined format for the
.I defaults
information;
it is up to the caller to use whatever format is appropriate for the
supplied
.I interact
function.
The
.I sasl_interact
parameter comes from the underlying SASL library. When used with Cyrus SASL
this is an array of
.B sasl_interact_t
structures. The Cyrus SASL library will prompt for a variety of inputs,
including:
.TP
SASL_CB_GETREALM
the realm for the authentication attempt
.TP
SASL_CB_AUTHNAME
the username to authenticate
.TP
SASL_CB_PASS
the password for the provided username
.TP
SASL_CB_USER
the username to use for proxy authorization
.TP
SASL_CB_NOECHOPROMPT
generic prompt for input with input echoing disabled
.TP
SASL_CB_ECHOPROMPT
generic prompt for input with input echoing enabled
.TP
SASL_CB_LIST_END
indicates the end of the array of prompts
.LP
See the Cyrus SASL documentation for more details.
.LP
Applications which need to manage connections asynchronously may use
.BR ldap_sasl_interactive_bind ()
instead of the synchronous version.
A valid mechs parameter must be supplied, otherwise the library will
be forced to query the server for a list of supported mechanisms,
and this query will be performed synchronously.
The other parameters are the same as
for the synchronous function, with three additional parameters.
The actual SASL mechanism that was used, and the message ID for use
with
.BR ldap_result ()
will be returned in rmechp and msgidp, respectively.
The value in rmechp must not be modified by the caller and must be
passed back on each subsequent call. The message obtained from
.BR ldap_result ()
must be passed in the result parameter.
This parameter must be NULL when initiating a new Bind. The caller
must free the result message after each call using
.BR ldap_msgfree ().
The
.BR ldap_sasl_interactive_bind ()
function returns an LDAP result code. If the code is
LDAP_SASL_BIND_IN_PROGRESS then the Bind is not complete yet, and
this function must be called again with the next result from the server.
.SH REBINDING
.LP
The
.B ldap_set_rebind_proc
function() sets the process to use for binding when an operation returns a
referral. This function is used when an application needs to bind to another server
in order to follow a referral or search continuation reference.
.LP
The function takes \fIld\fP, the \fIrebind\fP function, and the \fIparams\fP,
the arbitrary data like state information which the client might need to properly rebind.
The LDAP_OPT_REFERRALS option in the \fIld\fP must be set to ON for the libraries
to use the rebind function. Use the
.BR ldap_set_option
function to set the value.
.LP
The rebind function parameters are as follows:
.LP
The \fIld\fP parameter must be used by the application when binding to the
referred server if the application wants the libraries to follow the referral.
.LP
The \fIurl\fP parameter points to the URL referral string received from the LDAP server.
The LDAP application can use the 
.BR ldap_url_parse (3)
function to parse the string into its components.
.LP
The \fIrequest\fP parameter specifies the type of request that generated the referral. 
.LP
The \fImsgid\fP parameter specifies the message ID of the request generating the referral.
.LP
The \fIparams\fP parameter is the same value as passed originally to the
.BR ldap_set_rebind_proc ()
function.
.LP
The LDAP libraries set all the parameters when they call the rebind function. The application
should not attempt to free either the ld or the url structures in the rebind function.
.LP
The application must supply to the rebind function the required authentication information such as,
user name, password, and certificates. The rebind function must use a synchronous bind method.
.SH UNBINDING
The
.B ldap_unbind()
call is used to unbind from the directory,
terminate the current association, and free the resources contained
in the \fIld\fP structure.  Once it is called, the connection to
the LDAP server is closed, and the \fIld\fP structure is invalid.
The
.B ldap_unbind_s()
call is just another name for
.BR ldap_unbind() ;
both of these calls are synchronous in nature.
.LP
The
.B ldap_unbind_ext()
and
.B ldap_unbind_ext_s()
allows the operations to specify  controls.
.SH ERRORS
Asynchronous routines will return \-1 in case of error, setting the
\fIld_errno\fP parameter of the \fIld\fP structure.  Synchronous
routines return whatever \fIld_errno\fP is set to.  See
.BR ldap_error (3)
for more information.
.SH NOTES
If an anonymous bind is sufficient for the application, the rebind process
need not be provided. The LDAP libraries with the LDAP_OPT_REFERRALS option
set to ON (default value) will automatically follow referrals using an anonymous bind.
.LP
If the application needs stronger authentication than an anonymous bind,
you need to provide a rebind process for that authentication method.
The bind method must be synchronous.
