Thinking of implementing a LDAP-viewer in QML. The first step is obviously to make a Qt back-end that can handle ldap-queries. I’ve read the rfc1823 (ldap tutorial of sorts), but still can’t understand where to begin really.
I would be interested in some Qt code that would get me started on some sample LDAP functions, for instance :
- connect to a ldap server
- do some simple query of any type
- close the connection
Edit: code is not required if you can point me to any tutorials/guides as to how one does this in C++ / Qt
I suggest using libldap. Writing a client from scratch is a lot of work. Take a look here for some examples as a kick-off. You can easily integrate that code with Qt.
The OpenLDAP library also has some c++ example included.
