NAME

Catalyst::Model::LDAP - LDAP model class for Catalyst

SYNOPSIS

     # Use the Catalyst helper
     script/myapp_create.pl model Person LDAP ldap.ufl.edu ou=People,dc=ufl,dc=edu
 
     # Or, in lib/MyApp/Model/Person.pm
     package MyApp::Model::Person;
 
     use base qw/Catalyst::Model::LDAP/;
 
     __PACKAGE__->config(
         host => 'ldap.ufl.edu',
         base => 'ou=People,dc=ufl,dc=edu',
     );
 
     1;
 
     # Then, in your controller
     my $mesg = $c->model('Person')->search('(cn=Lou Rhodes)');
     my @entries = $mesg->entries;
     print $entries[0]->sn;
 
 

DESCRIPTION

This is the Net::LDAP model class for Catalyst. It is nothing more than a simple wrapper for Net::LDAP.

This class simplifies LDAP access by letting you configure a common set of bind arguments. It also lets you configure a base DN for searching.

Please refer to the Net::LDAP documentation for information on what else is available.

CONFIGURATION

The following configuration parameters are supported:

*

"host"

The LDAP server's fully qualified domain name (FQDN), e.g. "ldap.ufl.edu". Can also be an IP address, e.g. 127.0.0.1.

*

"base"

The base distinguished name (DN) for searching the directory, e.g. "ou=People,dc=ufl,dc=edu".

*

"dn"

(Optional) The bind DN for connecting to the directory, e.g. "dn=admin,dc=ufl,dc=edu". This can be anyone that has permission to search under the base DN, as per your LDAP server's access control lists.

*

"password"

(Optional) The password for the specified bind DN.

*

"start_tls"

(Optional) Set to 1 to use TLS when binding to the LDAP server, for secure connections.

*

"start_tls_options"

(Optional) A hashref containing options to use when binding using TLS to the LDAP server.

*

"options"

(Optional) A hashref containing options to pass to ``search'' in Catalyst::Model::LDAP::Connection. For example, this can be used to set a sizelimit.

NOTE: In previous versions, these options were passed to all Net::LDAP methods. This has changed to allow a cleaner connection interface. If you still require this behavior, create a class inheriting from Catalyst::Model::LDAP::Connection that overrides the specific methods and set "connection_class".

*

"connection_class"

(Optional) The class or package name that wraps Net::LDAP. Defaults to Catalyst::Model::LDAP::Connection.

See also ``OVERRIDING METHODS'' in Catalyst::Model::LDAP::Connection.

*

"entry_class"

(Optional) The class or package name to rebless Net::LDAP::Entry objects as. Defaults to Catalyst::Model::LDAP::Entry.

See also ``ADDING ENTRY METHODS'' in Catalyst::Model::LDAP::Entry.

INTERNAL METHODS

ACCEPT_CONTEXT

Bind the client using the current configuration and return it. This method is automatically called when you use e.g. "$c->model('LDAP')".

See ``bind'' in Catalyst::Model::LDAP::Connection for information on how the bind operation is done.
