3.1.1.6 CachedLDAPConnection

This ADM element represents an LDAP connection that can be reused if multiple directory operations occur simultaneously and defines the following ADM attributes:

Handle: Either an ADCONNECTION_HANDLE ([MS-DTYP] section 2.2.2) that is connected to an Active Directory server and that is ready to perform LDAP operations or NULL.

RefCount: An integer that represents the count of directory operations using the connection represented by the Handle ADM attribute. This count is incremented when an operation starts using the connection, as specified in section 3.1.6.18, and is decremented when an operation finishes using the connection, as specified in section 3.1.6.21.
