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 and options. It also lets you configure a base DN for searching.
Net::LDAP methods are supported via Perl's AUTOLOAD
mechanism. Please refer to the Net::LDAP documentation for information on what's available.
METHODS
new
Create a new Catalyst LDAP model component.
_client
Bind the client using the current configuration and return it. This method is automatically called when you use a Net::LDAP method.
If the start_tls
configuration option is present, the client will use the Net::LDAP start_tls
method to make your connection secure.
_execute
Execute the specified LDAP command. Call the appropriate Net::LDAP methods directly instead of this method. For example:
# In your controller
my $mesg = $c->model('Person')->search('(cn=Andy Barlow)');
