void Net_LDAP(
[array
$config = array()])

Net_LDAP constructor

Net_LDAP_Error|true add(
Net_LDAP_Entry

Use add to add a new Net_LDAP_Entry object to the directory. This also links the entry to the connection used for the add, if it was a fresh entry (Net_LDAP_Entry::createFresh())

Return: Net_LDAP_Error object or true

Parameters:

Net_LDAP_Entry &$entry — Net_LDAP_Entry

Net_LDAP_Error|true bind(
[string
$dn = null], [string
$password = null])

Bind or rebind to the ldap-server

This function binds with the given dn and password to the server. In case no connection has been made yet, it will be startet and startTLS issued if appropiate.

The internal bind configuration is not being updated, so if you call bind() without parameters, you can rebind with the credentials provided at first connecting to the server.

Return: Net_LDAP_Error object or true
Access: public

Parameters:

string	`$dn`	—	Distinguished name for binding
string	`$password`	—	Password for binding

[ Top ]

Net_LDAP_Error|true modify(
string|Net_LDAP_Entry
&$entry, [array
$parms = array()])

Modify an ldapentry directly on the server

This one takes the DN or a Net_LDAP_Entry object and an array of actions. This array should be something like this:

array('add' => array('attribute1' => array('val1', 'val2'), 'attribute2' => array('val1')), 'delete' => array('attribute1'), 'replace' => array('attribute1' => array('val1')), 'changes' => array('add' => ..., 'replace' => ..., 'delete' => array('attribute1', 'attribute2' => array('val1')))

The changes array is there so the order of operations can be influenced (the operations are done in order of appearance). The order of execution is as following:

adds from 'add' array
deletes from 'delete' array
replaces from 'replace' array
changes (add, replace, delete) in order of appearance

All subarrays (add, replace, delete, changes) may be given at the same time.

The function calls the corresponding functions of an Net_LDAP_Entry object. A detailed description of array structures can be found there.

Unlike the modification methods provided by the Net_LDAP_Entry object, this method will instantly carry out an update() after each operation, thus modifying "directly" on the server.

Return: Net_LDAP_Error object or true
Access: public

Parameters:

string\|Net_LDAP_Entry	`&$entry`	—	DN-string or Net_LDAP_Entry
array	`$parms`	—	Array of changes

[ Top ]

Net_LDAP_Error|true move(
string|Net_LDAP_Entry
&$entry, string
$newdn, [Net_LDAP
$target_ldap = null])

Rename or move an entry

This method will instantly carry out an update() after the move, so the entry is moved instantly. You can pass an optional Net_LDAP object. In this case, a cross directory move will be performed which deletes the entry in the source (THIS) directory and adds it in the directory $target_ldap. A cross directory move will switch the Entrys internal LDAP reference so updates to the entry will go to the new directory.

Note that if you want to do a cross directory move, you need to pass an Net_LDAP_Entry object, otherwise the attributes will be empty.

Parameters:

string\|Net_LDAP_Entry	`&$entry`	—	Entry DN or Entry object
string	`$newdn`	—	New location
Net_LDAP	`$target_ldap`	—	(optional) Target directory for cross server move; should be passed via reference

Net_LDAP_Search|Net_LDAP_Error search(
[string
$base = null], [string|Net_LDAP_Filter
$filter = null], [array
$params = array()])

Run a ldap query

Search is used to query the ldap-database. $base and $filter may be ommitted.The one from config will then be used. Params may contain:

scope: The scope which will be used for searching base - Just one entry sub - The whole tree one - Immediately below $base sizelimit: Limit the number of entries returned (default: 0 = unlimited), timelimit: Limit the time spent for searching (default: 0 = unlimited), attrsonly: If true, the search will only return the attribute names, attributes: Array of attribute names, which the entry should contain. It is good practice to limit this to just the ones you need. [NOT IMPLEMENTED] deref: By default aliases are dereferenced to locate the base object for the search, but not when searching subordinates of the base object. This may be changed by specifying one of the following values:

never - Do not dereference aliases in searching or in locating the base object of the search. search - Dereference aliases in subordinates of the base object in searching, but not in locating the base object of the search. find always

Please note, that you cannot override server side limitations to sizelimit and timelimit: You can always only lower a given limit.

Return: Net_LDAP_Search object or Net_LDAP_Error object
Access: public

Parameters:

string	`$base`	—	LDAP searchbase
string\|Net_LDAP_Filter	`$filter`	—	LDAP search filter or a Net_LDAP_Filter object
array	`$params`	—	Array of options

array|Net_LDAP_Error utf8Decode(
array
$attributes)

Decodes the given attribute values if needed by schema

$attributes is expected to be an array with keys describing the attribute names and the values as the value of this attribute:

Access: public

Parameters:

array $attributes — Array of attributes

array|Net_LDAP_Error utf8Encode(
array
$attributes)

This function takes attributes in an array and then checks against the schema if they need UTF8 encoding. If that is so, they will be encoded. An encoded array will be returned and can be used for adding or modifying.

$attributes is expected to be an array with keys describing the attribute names and the values as the value of this attribute:

$attributes = array('cn' => 'foo', 'attr2' => array('mv1', 'mv2'));
