NAME

Dancer::Plugin::LDAP - LDAP plugin for Dancer micro framework

VERSION

Version 0.0050

SYNOPSIS

use Dancer;
use Dancer::Plugin::LDAP;

# Calling the ldap keyword returns you a LDAP handle
$ldap = ldap;

# Use convenience methods for retrieving, updating and deleting LDAP entries
$account = ldap->quick_select({dn => 'uid=racke@linuxia.de,dc=linuxia,dc=de'});

ldap->quick_update('uid=racke@linuxia.de,dc=linuxia,dc=de', {l => 'Vienna'});

ldap->quick_delete('uid=racke@linuxia.de,dc=linuxia,dc=de');

DESCRIPTION

Provides an easy way to obtain a connected LDAP handle by simply calling the ldap keyword within your Dancer application.

Returns a Dancer::Plugin::LDAP::Handle object, which is a subclass of a Net::LDAP handle object, so it does everything you'd expect to do with Net::LDAP, but also adds a few convenience methods. See the documentation for Dancer::Plugin::LDAP::Handle for full details of those.

This plugin is compatible to Dancer 1 and Dancer 2.

TEXT SEARCHES

Need to run a text search across your LDAP directory? This plugin provides a quick way to do that:

    for (qw/uid sn givenName c l/) {
	$search{$_} = [substr => $args{search}];
    }

    @entries = ldap->quick_select({-or => \%search});

UTF-8

Attribute values returned by the "quick_select" in Dancer::Plugin::LDAP::Handle method are automatically converted to UTF-8 strings.
