This function frees all resources associated with an LDAP session.

Syntax

ULONG ldap_unbind(
  LDAP* ld
);

Parameters

• ld
  [in] Session handle.

Return Value

If this function succeeds, the return value is LDAP_SUCCESS.

If this function fails, it returns an error code. See the LDAP_RETCODE enumeration for a list of possible return values.

Remarks

Call this function to unbind from the directory, close the connection, and dispose of the session handle. Call this function whenever you have finished with a connection, even if you have not called ldap_bind when opening the connection. Make sure that you do not inadvertently call this function more than once on a session handle because doing so can free resources that you did not intend to release.

Both this function and ldap_unbind_s work synchronously. There is no server response to an unbind operation.

In a multithreading environment, calls to this function are safe, but you cannot use the session handle to the LDAP structure after it has been freed.
