Hi, Thanks a lot to all you guys for helping me out.
It has worked by using the attribute supportedCapabilities of RootDSE . This is a wonderful group where almost everyone is eager to help and I hope it continues this spirit...

RootDSE is kind of an "ADSI" thing to accomplish the same thing. You would need to use a filter such as (subschemaSubentry=*) or something because the RootDSE object doesn't have an objectClass, thus the default "objectClass=*" filter doesn't work.

So, I wrote the following code : nResult = ldap_compare_s (ld, dcRoot, "supportedCapabilities","1.2.840.113556.1.4.1851;1.2.840.113556.1.4.1791 "); This again gives the error code 0x10 or decimal 16 which means that attribute is not present. Probably, this time its because of dcRoot which contains in my case "dc=abcd,dc=com". However the RootDSE does not have this distinguished name. Do I need to set the distinguished name of RootDSE first. If yes, how do I do it? If no, how do I circumvent this situation?
