Method: Net::LDAP.open

Defined in:

lib/net/ldap.rb

.open(args) ⇒ Object

#open takes the same parameters as #new. #open makes a network connection to the LDAP server and then passes a newly-created Net::LDAP object to the caller-supplied block. Within the block, you can call any of the instance methods of Net::LDAP to perform operations against the LDAP directory. #open will perform all the operations in the user-supplied block on the same network connection, which will be closed automatically when the block finishes.

# (PSEUDOCODE)
auth = { :method => :simple, :username => username, :password => password }
Net::LDAP.open(:host => ipaddress, :port => 389, :auth => auth) do |ldap|
  ldap.search(...)
  ldap.add(...)
  ldap.modify(...)
end
