what happens for ldap_search_s

[ravinderthakur]

hi all,

i want to know what functions are called when a windows clients calls
the function such as
ldap_search_s or some related function. What all functions are called
on the AD server and what dll/exe/services on the ad/dc side are
responsible for handling these reqeusts.


thanks in advance for the help

LSASS.EXE, a variety of DLLs. Functions too numerous to name. The times I have
chased through the source code depending on the actual call you could be
bouncing through tens/hundreds of source files and hundreds/thousands of
functions. None of it is exported for you so it doesn't really matter, your
interface is through the published ldap API calls.
