    Post LDAP authentication

    Hi All,

    I need to write an application which needs to validate user login against LDAP.

    I have to do the application in C language in a Linux server ( GNU/Linux). I am totally new to the LDAP concept, so I don't have any idea how to do this.

    The LDAP server is already there and I need to give the option to users login into the application (not in the terminal) using the LDAP user name/password .

    I found the OpenLdap and nss_ldap software can do the stuff.

    Also I see the rpms openldap-2.0.27-11 and nss_ldap-207-2 in my server.

    So anyone has any idea how to start?

    Thanks in advance.

    Use PAM to handle authentication.
