Net::LD...edValues(3)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so bestie, this page is all about Net::LDAP::Control::MatchedValues — the LDAPv3 MatchedValues Control. The manual name folded in near the top is User Contributed Perl Documentation, and the header title is Net::LD...edValues(3) (yes, the lil truncated-looking one, iykyk).

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

use Net::LDAP;
use Net::LDAP::Control::MatchedValues;

$ldap = Net::LDAP->new( "ldap.mydomain.eg" );

$mv = Net::LDAP::Control::MatchedValues->new( matchedValues => '((sn=Jensen)(sn=Miller))' );

# return the entries of all people with first name "Babs",
# but only show the sn if it is "Jensen" or "Miller"
my $mesg = $ldap->search( base => "o=University of Michigan, c=US",
                          filter => "(givenName=Babs)",
                          attrs => [ qw/sn/ ],
                          control => $mv );

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Net::LDAP::Control::MatchedValues provides an interface for the creation and manipulation of objects that represent the MatchedValues Control as described by RFC 3876.

The MatchedValues Control only has a meaning with the Search operation. It lets the client specify criteria that restrict the values of attributes returned. It has no effect on the number of objects found, but only allows one to restrict the values of the attributes returned by the search to those matching the criteria. periodt 💅

🧚 CONSTRUCTOR ARGUMENTS 🧚

In addition to the constructor arguments described in Net::LDAP::Control, the following are provided.

• matchedValues => VALUESRETURNFILTER — a filter giving the criteria which attribute values shall be returned.

VALUESRETURNFILTER is a sequence of simple filter items of the form ( <ATTRSPEC> <OP> <VALUE> ) surrounded by an additional set of parentheses; e.g.

((personsAge<=29))

Only return the age if is less than 30 ;-)

((cn=*Emergency*)(telephoneNumber=+1*)(telephoneNumber=911))

Only return those values of the cn that contain "Emergency", and phone numbers from North America including the one for emergency calls.

💅 METHODS 💅

As with Net::LDAP::Control, each constructor argument described above is also available as a method on the object. Called without an argument, it returns the current value for the attribute; called with an argument, it sets a new value for the attribute. iconic behavior, honestly ✨
