Question: rootDSE?

rasta-mouse opened this issue · 1 comments

Is there anything in this library that can help get the rootDSE of a domain? Rather than having to hardcode the search base like in all the examples?

RFC 4512, Section 5.1, explicitly defines the root DSE as having a zero-length DN, so there is no harm in hard-coding it. The same section also spells out the construction of a Search to retrieve its attributes. I see no need for a helper function for that purpose. (I'm aware that some LDAP SDKs have a dedicated getRootDSE() or a similar method. I don't wish to emulate them.)
