GPG_ERR_LDAP_GENERAL LDAP General error

Catch all error for LDAP. Use when an error code could not be
mapped to a gpg-error code.

GPG_ERR_LDAP_ATTR_GENERAL LDAP General attribute error


GPG_ERR_LDAP_NAME_GENERAL LDAP General name error
GPG_ERR_LDAP_SECURITY_GENERAL LDAP General security error
GPG_ERR_LDAP_SERVICE_GENERAL LDAP General service error
GPG_ERR_LDAP_UPDATE_GENERAL LDAP General update error
GPG_ERR_LDAP_E_GENERAL LDAP Experimental error code
GPG_ERR_LDAP_X_GENERAL LDAP Private error code
GPG_ERR_LDAP_OTHER_GENERAL LDAP Other general error

The 8 GPG_ERR_LDAP_*_GENERAL error codes may be used to map ranges


of LDAP errors to one specific code. OpenLDAP uses LDAP_xxx_RANGE(n)
macros for that mapping. "Other general error" may be used similar
to "General error" for mapping of ranges. Here are macros from
OpenLDAP for reference:

#define LDAP_ATTR_ERROR(n) LDAP_RANGE((n),0x10,0x15) /* 16-21 */


#define LDAP_NAME_ERROR(n) LDAP_RANGE((n),0x20,0x24) /* 32-34,36 */
#define LDAP_SECURITY_ERROR(n) LDAP_RANGE((n),0x2F,0x32) /* 47-50 */
#define LDAP_SERVICE_ERROR(n) LDAP_RANGE((n),0x33,0x36) /* 51-54 */
#define LDAP_UPDATE_ERROR(n) LDAP_RANGE((n),0x40,0x47) /* 64-69,71 */
#define LDAP_E_ERROR(n) LDAP_RANGE((n),0x1000,0x3FFF)
#define LDAP_X_ERROR(n) LDAP_RANGE((n),0x4000,0xFFFF)
