Sympa::DataSource::LDAP2(3Sympa)

πŸ’– NAME πŸ’–

Sympa::DataSource::LDAP2 β€” the data source that pulls subscribers out of an LDAP directory using a two-level search, and yes bestie, two levels is the whole personality here πŸ¦‹

This page lives in section 3Sympa of the sympa manual, version 6.2.80, and it is so ready to be your new fave 🫢


✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Okay so picture this πŸ’… β€” this module returns a list of subscribers, right? But not the "hey I typed your email in myself" kind. These subscribers are extracted indirectly from a remote LDAP Directory, and the way it does that is with a two-level query.

Indirectly. Two-level. That's the vibe. It's not asking the directory once and calling it a day, no ma'am β€” it asks, then it asks again based on what it learned, and that's how the subscriber list materialises πŸ”₯

ngl the whole "two-level search operations" thing is load-bearing β€” don't go in expecting a single flat lookup, because that is literally not what this is 🌸
