#belongs_to(association_id, options = {}) ⇒ Object

belongs_to

This defines a method for an extension class map its DN key attribute value on to multiple items which reference it by |:foreign_key| in the other LDAP entry covered by class |:class_name|.

Example:

belongs_to :groups, :class_name => Group, :foreign_key => memberUid, :local_key => 'uid'

#has_many(association_id, options = {}) ⇒ Object

has_many

This defines a method for an extension class expand an existing multi-element attribute into ActiveLDAP objects. This discards any calls which result in entries that don’t exist in LDAP!

Example:

has_many :members, :class_name => User, :local_key => memberUid, :foreign_key => 'uid'

#ldap_mapping(options = {}) ⇒ Object

This class function is used to setup all mappings between the subclass and ldap for use in activeldap

Example:

ldap_mapping :dnattr => 'uid', :prefix => 'ou=People', 
             :classes => ['top', 'posixAccount'], scope => LDAP::LDAP_SCOPE_SUBTREE,
             :parent => String
