Net::LDAP::Control::ProxyAuth(3)     User Contributed Perl Documentation    Net::LDAP::Control::ProxyAuth(3)



NAME
       Net::LDAP::Control::ProxyAuth - LDAPv3 Proxy Authentication control object

SYNOPSIS
        use Net::LDAP;
        use Net::LDAP::Control::ProxyAuth;

        $ldap = Net::LDAP->new( "ldap.mydomain.eg" );

        $auth = Net::LDAP::Control::ProxyAuth->new( authzID => 'dn:cn=me,ou=people,o=myorg.com' );

        @args = ( base     => "cn=subnets,cn=sites,cn=configuration,$BASE_DN",
                  scope    => "subtree",
                  filter   => "(objectClass=subnet)",
                  callback => \&process_entry, # Call this sub for each entry
                  control  => [ $auth ],
        );

        while(1) {
          # Perform search
          my $mesg = $ldap->search( @args );

          # Only continue on LDAP_SUCCESS
          $mesg->code and last;

        }

DESCRIPTION
       "Net::LDAP::Control::ProxyAuth" provides an interface for the creation and manipulation of objects
       that represent the "proxyauthorisationControl" as described by draft-weltman-ldapv3-proxy-XX.txt.

CONSTRUCTOR ARGUMENTS
       In addition to the constructor arguments described in Net::LDAP::Control the following are provided.

       authzID
           The authzID that is required. This is the identity we are requesting operations to use

       proxyDN
           In older versions of draft-weltman-ldapv3-proxy-XX.txt the value in the control and thus the
           constructor argument was a DN and was called "proxyDN". It served the same purpose as "authzID"
           in recent versions of "proxyauthorisationControl".

       Please note: Unfortunately the OID and the encoding or the "proxyauthorisationControl" changed
       significantly in recent versions of draft-weltman-ldapv3-proxy-XX.txt.  Net::LDAP::Control::ProxyAuth
       tries to cope with that situation and changes the OID and encoding used depending on the constructor
       argument.

       With "proxyDN" as constructor argument the old OID and encoding are used, while with "authzID" as
       constructor argument the new OID and encoding are used.  Using this logic servers supporting either
       OID can be handled correctly.

METHODS
       As with Net::LDAP::Control each constructor argument described above is also available as a method on
       the object which will return the current value for the attribute if called without an argument, and
       set a new value for the attribute if called with an argument.
