LS,
Net::LDAP::Schema has the capabilities of returning a definition of an
attribute including matchingrules etc.
On the standard OL 2.2 schema this works fine for an attribute like email:
$VAR1 = {
'equality' => 'caseIgnoreIA5Match',
'name' => 'email',
'oid' => '1.2.840.113549.1.9.1',
'substr' => 'caseIgnoreIA5SubstringsMatch',
'desc' => 'RFC2459: legacy attribute for email addresses in DNs',
'aliases' => [
'emailAddress',
'pkcs9email'
],
'type' => 'at',
'syntax' => '1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.26',
'max_length' => '128'
};
However when I ask for CN , I only get:
$VAR1 = {
'desc' => 'RFC2256: common name(s) for which the entity is
known by',
'sup' => [
'name'
],
'name' => 'cn',
'oid' => '2.5.4.3',
'aliases' => [
'commonName'
],
'type' => 'at'
};
Now, I can ask for the definition of "name" and fetch the matching rules
from there, or I can walk through all_matchingruleuses to see which one
contains CN.
Is there an easier way to accomplish this ? Or do I need to restructure
the schema ;-)
I'd like to use the returned matching rule in Net::LDAP::Filtermatch to
determine the type of match.
