Configure script needs to be adjusted. In addition, ldapdb auxprop plugin needs to be explicitly disabled if Solaris ldap sdk is found.

If they're trying to use that, then they obviously can't leverage any OpenLDAP code.Can one of the LDAP gurus take a look at this patch and let me know if it looks sane, or if it can be rewritten to be smaller and/or leverage more OpenLDAP code?I glazed over a bit reading his ldap_initialize() wrapper. The rest looked ok, but I'm suspicious of his #ifdef'ing standard options like LDAP_OPT_TIMELIMIT. Those should be supported on all LDAP APIs. The only things that ought to need ifdef'ing are options with "_X_" in their name as those are extensions that were never mentioned in any API spec (draft or otherwise).
Is there any reason they are not using openldap api? I do not think I tried, but they should be able to connect to the solaris ldap server using ldaps. Maybe Howard knows.
