I am new to C so any guidance will be greatly appreciated.  ldap_simple_bind_s is depricated in favor of ldap_sasl_bind_s.  I need to recompile a program that previously used ldap_simple_bind_s.  The password value is passed to the function that is calling ldap_sasl_bind_s as a char *, but sasl_bind_s is wanting a struct berval.  Do I need to convert it, and if so, how? 

LDAP_F( int )
ldap_simple_bind_s LDAP_P(( /* deprecated, use ldap_sasl_bind_s */
        LDAP *ld,
        LDAP_CONST char *who,
        LDAP_CONST char *passwd ));

LDAP_F( int )
ldap_sasl_bind_s LDAP_P((
        LDAP                    *ld,

How do I convert a char * to a struct berval for ldap_sasl_bind_s?

Databases are organized collections of data, most commonly accessed through management systems including schemas, tables, queries and processes that allow users to enter and manipulate the information or utilize it in other fashions, such as with web applications or for reporting purposes.

C is a general-purpose, imperative computer programming language, supporting structured programming, lexical variable scope and recursion, while a static type system prevents many unintended operations. By design, C provides constructs that map efficiently to typical machine instructions, so it has found lasting use in applications that had formerly been coded in assembly language, including operating systems as well as various application software for computers ranging from supercomputers to embedded systems. It is distinct from C++ (which has its roots in C) and C#, and many later languages have borrowed directly or indirectly from C.
