ldap_modrdn2_s function

The ldap_modrdn2_s function changes the relative distinguished name of an LDAP entry.

This function is obsolete. For LDAP 3 or later, use the ldap_rename_ext or ldap_rename_ext_s functions.

Syntax

ULONG ldap_modrdn2_s(
  _In_ LDAP  *ExternalHandle,
  _In_ PCHAR DistinguishedName,
  _In_ PCHAR NewDistinguishedName,
  _In_ INT   DeleteOldRdn
);

Parameters

ExternalHandle [in]

The session handle.

DistinguishedName [in]

A pointer to a null-terminated string that contains the distinguished name to change.

NewDistinguishedName [in]

A pointer to a null-terminated string that contains the new relative distinguished name to give the entry.

DeleteOldRdn [in]

TRUE if the old relative distinguished name should be deleted; FALSE if the old relative distinguished name should be retained.

Return value

If the function succeeds, the return value is LDAP_SUCCESS.

If the function fails, it returns an error code. For more information, see Return Values.

Remarks

Be aware that the various ldap_modrdn functions allow you to change only the relative distinguished name, which is the least significant component of the object's distinguished name. Effective with version 3, LDAP provides the Modify Distinguished Name protocol operation that allows access to name-change functions. This feature is available by calling ldap_rename_ext or ldap_rename_ext_s. These functions are recommended, rather than the ldap_modrdn2_s function, to change an entry name.
