Hi,

         Referring to my previous issue, I have resolved my question.  FYI, 
if you're interested, it turns out that the search method in LDAPConnection 
that takes an LDAPUrl object as an argument instantiates a new connection 
to the directory server, whereas some of the other search methods in the 
LDAPConnection object do not (which is what I needed).

Thanks,

Josh

 Hi,

         I'm using the Netscape SDK 4.1 for Java.  I want to perform a 
bound search, so that I can get all of the attributes for a given dn (not 
just the anonymous ones).

         Here's pseudo-code for what I tried:

1) instantiate new LDAPConnection object (LDAPConnection conn = new 
LDAPConnection();)
2) connect to the directory server (conn.connect("theServer", 389);)
3) bind to the directory server 
(conn.authenticate("theAdministratorDNGoesHere", 
"theAdministratorPWGoesHere");)
4) search the directory server (conn.search(someLDAPUrlObject);)
5) disconnect from the directory server (conn.disconnect();)

         Sounds simple and intuitive, right?  Well, it is, except that 
behind the scenes, the Netscape SDK opens up a second connection to the 
directory server at step 4 (I verified this by looking in the directory 
server's logs).  The new connection is anonymous, and, as a result, I get 
only the anonymous attributes back.

         Does anybody know a way to get the Netscape SDK to send a 
non-anonymous search?

Thanks,

Josh
