SPOPS::Tool::LDAP::Datasource -- Embed the parameters for a LDAP handle in object configuration
# Connect to a server running on localhost:389 using an anonymous # bind (no username/password) my $spops = { myobject => { class => 'My::Object', rules_from => [ 'SPOPS::Tool::LDAP::Datasource' ] field => [ qw/ cn sn givenname displayname mail telephonenumber objectclass uid ou / ], id_field => 'uid', ldap_base_dn => 'ou=People,dc=MyCompany,dc=com', ... }, }; SPOPS::Initialize->process({ config => $spops }); my $ldap_filter = '&(objectclass=inetOrgPerson)(mail=*cwinters.com)'; my $list = My::Object->fetch_group({ where => $ldap_filter }); foreach my $object ( @{ $list } ) { print "Name: $object->{givenname} at $object->{mail}\n"; }
This rule allows you to embed the LDAP connection information in your object rather than using the strategies described elsewhere. This is very handy for creating simple, one-off scripts, but you should still use the subclassing strategy from SPOPS::Manual::Cookbook if you will have multiple objects using the same datasource.
behavior_factory( $class )
Generates a behavior to generate the datasource retrieval code during the 'manipulate_configuration' phase.
datasource_access( $class )
