Close this LDAP connection (LDAP class)
This callable
function closes a Janus LDAP connection.
It logs off the LDAP user, and it terminates the sending and receiving of
data on the connection and deactivates it.
Syntax
[%number =] ldap:Unbind
Syntax terms
| %number | A float variable to contain the status result of the Unbind. Possible results are:
|
|---|---|
| ldap | An LDAP object variable. |
Usage notes
- After a successful Unbind (and after errors that cause a disconnection),
the LDAP method object is ready for another Bind:
that is, it is (re)initialized with no associated socket/connection references,
in the same state as if
%ld = Newwere issued. - You can also close a connection (and delete the object) abruptly by issuing a Discard call, and you can achieve the same result by letting an LDAP object get discarded automatically ("implicitly") when the last reference to it is lost, but it is recommended that you first issue an Unbind call for a more orderly closure.
