data _null_;

  rc =0;  handle=0;

  port=8010;
  base="sasComponent=sasPublishSubscriber,cn=SAS,o=Alphalite Airways,c=US";
  bindDN=""; Pw="";

  /* open connection to LDAP server */
  call ldaps_open(handle, server, port, base, bindDn, Pw, rc);
  if rc ne 0 then do;
     msg = sysmsg();
     put msg;
  end;
  else
     put "LDAPS_OPEN call successful.";

  /* add the following entry, which has 6 attributes */
  entryName="saschannelcn=DeleteTest,cn=saschannels,sasComponent=sasPublishSubscribe,cn=SAS,o=SAS Institute,c=US";
