DESCRIPTION

Helper for the Catalyst LDAP model.

USAGE

When creating a new LDAP model class using this helper, you can specify much of the configuration and have it filled automatically. Using the example from the "SYNOPSIS" section:

  • Person

    The name of the model. This is also used to determine the filename, e.g. lib/MyApp/Model/Person.pm.

  • LDAP

    The helper to use, i.e. this one.

  • ldap.ufl.edu

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

  • ou=People,dc=ufl,dc=edu

    The base distinguished name (DN) for searching the directory.

  • dn=admin,dc=ufl,dc=edu

    The bind DN for connecting to the directory. This can be anyone that has permission to search under the base DN, as per your LDAP server's access control lists.

  • mypass

    The password for the specified bind DN.

  • 1

    Optionally uses TLS when binding to the LDAP server, for secure connections.

METHODS

mk_compclass

Makes the LDAP model class.

mk_comptest

Makes tests for the LDAP model.
