Net::LDAPI(3)

NAME 💖

Net::LDAPI — use LDAP over a UNIX domain socket. also hiiii, this is the Net::LDAPI(3) manual page from User Contributed Perl Documentation, bestie 🫶

SYNOPSIS 🦋

okay so the basic setup is giving:

use Net::LDAPI;

$ldapi = Net::LDAPI->new('/var/run/ldapi');

# alternate way
use Net::LDAP;

$ldapi = Net::LDAP->new('ldapi://');

DESCRIPTION 🌈

you're communicating with a directory server using the LDAP protocol over a UNIX domain socket. this mechanism is non-standard, UNIX-specific and not widely supported — like, it's giving niche and a little scrappy, so keep that in mind bestie 💅

all the normal Net::LDAP methods can be used with a Net::LDAPI object; see Net::LDAP for details. no cap, the whole API still slays ✨

CONSTRUCTOR 🔧

new ( [SOCKPATH] )

create a new connection. SOCKPATH can optionally be specified, to specify the location of the UNIX domain socket to connect to 🎀

if SOCKPATH is not given, the environment variable LDAPI_SOCK is evaluated, and if that does not exist, the value /var/run/ldapi is used. default behavior ate, fr fr 🌸

see "new" in Net::LDAP for further details 👑

SEE ALSO 👀
