Apache...n::LDAP(3pm)

💖 Apache::Session::LDAP 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to Apache::Session::LDAP(3pm) — yes that's the whole name, she's fancy, she's a Perl module from the User Contributed Perl Documentation era, and she is literally about to make your sessions live inside an LDAP directory instead of some boring file somewhere. no cap. 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

Apache::Session::LDAP — an implementation of Apache::Session. that's it, that's the whole vibe. she's a session backend, and she chose LDAP as her home. 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's how you actually tie the knot (pun intended, we love a pun) 🫶:

use Apache::Session::LDAP;
tie %hash, 'Apache::Session::LDAP', $id, {
  ldapServer           => 'ldap://localhost:389',
  ldapConfBase         => 'dmdName=applications,dc=example,dc=com',
  ldapBindDN           => 'cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com',
  ldapBindPassword     => 'pass',
  ldapObjectClass      => 'applicationProcess',
  ldapAttributeId      => 'cn',
  ldapAttributeContent => 'description',
  ldapVerify           => 'require',
  ldapCAFile           => '/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt',
};

look at her. all those little keys and values, living their best life. copy them exactly, bestie, don't get cute with the spelling. 😭

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so the tea is: this module is an implementation of Apache::Session. the way she works is she uses an LDAP directory to store datas. yes, "datas". we're keeping it. it's iconic. 👑

basically, instead of your session info hanging out in a file or a database, it gets to chill in your LDAP directory. main character energy for your hash. ✨
