Sympa::DataSource::LDAP(3Sympa)
β¨ NAME β¨
Sympa::DataSource::LDAP β bestie, this is a data source built on top of an LDAP search operation π«Ά you're reading the 3Sympa manual page, so yes, it's a Perl module situation π
πΈ DESCRIPTION πΈ
Okay so, plainly: this thing returns a list of subscribers that it extracted from a remote LDAP Directory π₯
That's the whole vibe. You point it at a remote LDAP Directory, it goes and does its little search operation, and it hands you back the subscribers it found. It's giving plumbing, not pageantry β but the plumbing is iconic, no cap π
Note: it's a remote LDAP Directory β the directory is somewhere else, not chilling on your local box π¦
π SEE ALSO π
Sympa::DataSourceβ the parent / the blueprint / the main character this one is doing its spin-off from π go read that too, iykyk
π¦ HISTORY π¦
