The bind operation enables an LDAP client to identify itself to the directory by providing an identity and authentication credentials. By calling the unbind operation the client can terminate an existing session. The abandon operation allows the client to inform the server that it is no longer interested in the results of an operation that was previously submitted.

The following table shows the LDAP authentication operations that are supported in Windows Embedded CE.

Operation Description

bind

Sent by the client to authenticate itself to the directory.

unbind

Sent by the client to indicate that it wants to disconnect from the server.

abandon
