Actually the MS ldap api is part of windows (the platform sdk) already
and has been for some time.
AD just typically includes updated versions of it (compared to the one
that comes with NT4, W2k, XP, 2003…)

To install ruby-ldap, I need an ldap server/sdk …Where do I get the
windows binaries for the (open) ldap server?
I’ve never used ruby-ldap, but I’ve used the openldap sdk on windows.
I didn’t find binaries of the sdk, though you can find server binaries
easily enough.
But, like me, you don’t need the server, probably, just the sdk.
Download the openldap source, it comes with Dev Studio project files.
Build only the projects you need (libber, libldap, another?) from the
mega-project (the clients and servers need sasl, and other libraries you
might not have).
Hope that helps a little.

MS’s ActiveDirectory comes with an LDAP API based on the UofMich RFCs.
It’s almost identical to the OpenLdap APIs. If nobody has done it yet,
the ruby ldap should compile against the MS ldap APIs on windows, it
solves a lot of problems (like your problem!).
Cheers,
Sam

The msdn docs suggested that the ldap api is part of the Active
Directory client apis, but who am I to try interpret MS’s maze of s/w,
sdks, and apis?
But that reminds me. If you use the ldap api, and immediately segv, its
because your copy of msdev has a dll stub library with the “wrong
ordinals”. Get a recent copy of the platform sdk, and use it. Recent
copies of ms dev might also have the ordinal bug fixed.

Sam
