Overview

Base

Base is the primary class which contains all of the core ActiveLDAP functionality. It is meant to only ever be subclassed by extension classes.

Constructor Details

#initialize(val) ⇒ Base

new

Creates a new instance of Base initializing all class and all initialization. Defines local defaults. See examples If multiple values exist for dnattr, the first one put here will be authoritative TODO: Add # support for relative distinguished names val can be a dn attribute value, a full DN, or a LDAP::Entry. The use with a LDAP::Entry is primarily meant for internal use by find and find_all.

Dynamic Method Handling

This class handles dynamic methods through the method_missing method

#method_missing(name, *args) ⇒ Object

method_missing

If a given method matches an attribute or an attribute alias then call the appropriate method. TODO: Determine if it would be better to define each allowed method

using class_eval instead of using method_missing.  This would
give tab completion in irb.

Raises:

  • (NoMethodError)

.connect(config = {}) ⇒ Object

Connect and bind to LDAP creating a class variable for use by all ActiveLDAP objects.

config

config must be a hash that may contain any of the following fields: :user, :password_block, :logger, :host, :port, :base, :bind_format, :try_sasl, :allow_anonymous :user specifies the username to bind with. :bind_format specifies the string to substitute the username into on bind. e.g. uid=%s,ou=People,dc=dataspill,dc=org. Overrides @@bind_format. :password_block specifies a Proc object that will yield a String to be used as the password when called. :logger specifies a preconfigured Log4r::Logger to be used for all logging :host sets the LDAP server hostname :port sets the LDAP server port :base overwrites Base.base - this affects EVERYTHING :try_sasl indicates that a SASL bind should be attempted when binding to the server (default: false) :allow_anonymous indicates that a true anonymous bind is allowed when trying to bind to the server (default: true) :retries - indicates the number of attempts to reconnect that will be undertaken when a stale connection occurs. -1 means infinite. :sasl_quiet - if true, sets @sasl_quiet on the Ruby/LDAP connection :method - whether to use :ssl, :tls, or :plain (unencrypted) :retry_wait - seconds to wait before retrying a connection :ldap_scope - dictates how to find objects. ONELEVEL by default to avoid dn_attr collisions across OUs. Think before changing. :return_objects - indicates whether find/find_all will return objects or just the distinguished name attribute value of the matches :timeout - time in seconds - defaults to disabled. This CAN interrupt search() requests. Be warned. :retry_on_timeout - whether to reconnect when timeouts occur. Defaults to true See lib/configuration.rb for defaults for each option
