Look for wldap32.dll. I have don't have any XP Home Edition so I don't
know how intentionally crippled it is... please follow up whether it
is there or not.

See for instance
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa366938%28v=vs.85%29.aspx and
surrounding documentation. If I recall correctly from when I adapted
some Linux code to use the Microsoft LDAP API several years ago, it is
very close to the "de-facto standard" LDAP API (RFC1823) that OpenLDAP
implements. (In fact, I think it was so that it is OpenLDAP that adds
"a few useful extensions", while MS stayed closer to the RFC. But as
RFC1823 is not a real Internet Standard, that is OK, of course.)
