Hi Friends,
I guess we all know that using ldif files we can add or modify the
directory
contents using OpenLDAP command line applications as shown below:
E.G: ldapadd -v -x -D "cn=admin,dc=nodomain" -H ldap://192.168.1.31:389
*-f
add_org.ldif* -W
Now "Net::LDAP' provides "add" method which takes the attributes to be
added. It also provides "modify" method along with many other useful
methods.
I was refering the documentation (
http://search.cpan.org/~gbarr/perl-ldap/lib/Net/LDAP.pod) and I
couldn't
find a way to provide a ldif file as an input parameter to the
methods like
"add" or "modify".
I just wanted to know if it is possible provide "ldif" files as an
input
parameter to various functions of Net::LDAP (just as we can do with
the
command "ldapadd")
If no then I guess we have to use Net::LDAP::LDIF.
well thats what Net::LDAP::LDIF is for.
If you are familiar with the ldifadd command then you probably know
there is also a
command ldifmodify.
Net::LDAP::LDIF can read these change descriptions and apply thenGraham.
