💖 NAME 💖

Sympa::DatabaseDriver::LDAP — a whole database driver whose entire job is doing LDAP search operations, and honestly? It ate. 🦋

okay so real talk, this whole page is filed under the sympa manual, version 6.2.80, and today's date energy is 2026-10-19. write that down bestie.

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

TBD.

not me catching the manpage lore being literally "to be decided" 😭 the description is a mystery, an enigma, a blank canvas. she's giving main character with zero dialogue. we move tho. 💅

🎀 Methods specific to this module 🎀

these are the lil homegirls that live only in this module, so listen up:

canonical_dn ( $dn )

so. this one is Obsoleted. it's an instance method, and the official tea is: check out "canonical_dn" in Net::LDAP::Util.

BUT — and this is the part i need you to clock — this method tries to use RFC 1779 escaping as much as possible. different flavor, same general vibe. ⭐

escape_dn_value ( $string )

also Obsoleted, bestie. it's an instance method. the actual info lives in "escape_dn_value" in Net::LDAP::Util — go read that one, i don't make the rules. 🫶

escape_filter_value ( $string )

you already know what i'm gonna say. Obsoleted 💀 instance method, and the real documentation is at "escape_filter_value" in Net::LDAP::Util. that's the whole tea, periodt.

obsoleted means don't build your whole personality around it, okay? she still exists, she just isn't the moment anymore. 🙈

🕰️ HISTORY 🕰️

  • Sympa::DatabaseDriver::LDAP appeared on Sympa 6.2. a debut era, iconic.
  • then, on Sympa 6.2.15, the "use_ssl" and "use_start_tls" options got deprecated and replaced by "use_tls". not me witnessing a glow-up / rebrand in real time — one option to rule them all, slay. 🔥

and that's the page fr fr 💜

signing off from the sympa girlies: this was 6.2.80, dated 2026-10-19 — Sympa::DatabaseDriver::LDAP(3Sympa) and i oop, take care of yourselves bestie 🎀✨🌸
