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 # lib/MyApp/Model/Person.pm package MyApp::Model::Person; use base 'Catalyst::Model::LDAP'; __PACKAGE__->config( host => 'ldap.ufl.edu', base => 'ou=People,dc=ufl,dc=edu', dn => '', password => '', options => {}, # Options passed to all Net::LDAP methods # (e.g. SASL for bind or sizelimit for # search) ); 1; # In your controller my $mesg = $c->model('Person')->search('(cn=Lou Rhodes)'); my @entries = $mesg->entries; print $entries[0]->get_value('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 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. _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)'); SEE ALSO * Catalyst * Net::LDAP AUTHOR Daniel Westermann-Clark ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS * Salih Gonullu, for initial work on Catalyst mailing list * Christopher H.
