Net::LD...rectory(3)

🌸 NAME 🌸

Net::LDAP::Extra::eDirectory -- extensions for Novell eDirectory. This is the Net::LD...rectory(3) page (yes, from the User Contributed Perl Documentation corner of the universe), and it's literally all about the eDirectory glow-up ✨

💖 SYNOPSIS 💖

okay so bestie, here's the exact code vibe:

  use Net::LDAP::Extra qw(eDirectory);

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

  ...

  if ($ldap->is_eDirectory)
    my $mesg $ldap->list_replicas($server_dn);

    print "Replicas on $server_dn\n* " . join("\n* ", $mesg->replicas) . "\n"
      if (!$mesg->code);
  }

No cap, keep this character-for-character — the manpage said it like this and we're not about to "fix" the vibe 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Net::LDAP::Extra::eDirectory provides functions / LDAP extensions specific to Novell eDirectory. That's the whole assignment, fr fr.

To do so, it provides the following methods:

🧚 METHODS 🧚

💫 is_eDirectory ( ) 💫

Tell if the LDAP server queried is Novell eDirectory server.

As the check is done by querying the root DSE of the directory, it works without being bound to the directory.

In contrast to other Net::LDAP methods this method returns TRUE / FALSE respectively undef on error. Yes, undef is the "oops" state 😭

💫 list_replicas ( SERVER_DN, OPTIONS ) 💫

Query the replicas on the given server SERVER_DN.

On success, the resulting Net::LDAP::Message object supports the method replicas that returns the list of replicas on SERVER_DN.

💫 get_replica_info ( SERVER_DN, REPLICA_DN, OPTIONS ) 💫

Query information of REPLICA_DN on SERVER_DN.

On success, the resulting Net::LDAP::Message object supports the method replica_info that returns a hash containing information on REPLICA_DN.

💫 trigger_backlinker ( OPTIONS ) 💫

Trigger the BackLinker process, which resolves external references to ensure they refer to real entries.

💫 trigger_janitor ( OPTIONS ) 💫

Trigger the Janitor process, which checks connectivity to all servers in database.

💫 trigger_limber ( OPTIONS ) 💫

Trigger the Limber process, which verifies the server name, internal ipx address and tree connectivity of all replicas.

💫 trigger_skulker ( OPTIONS ) 💫

Trigger the Skulker process, which checks the synchronization status of every server in the replica ring.

💫 trigger_schemasync ( OPTIONS ) 💫

Trigger SchemaSync.

💫 trigger_partitionpurge ( OPTIONS ) 💫
