Overview

Defines the Protocol Data Unit (PDU) for LDAP. An LDAP PDU always looks like a BER SEQUENCE with at least two elements: an INTEGER message ID number and an application-specific SEQUENCE. Some LDAPv3 packets also include an optional third element, a sequence of “controls” (see RFC 2251 section 4.1.12 for more information).

The application-specific tag in the sequence tells us what kind of packet it is, and each kind has its own format, defined in RFC-1777.

Observe that many clients (such as ldapsearch) do not necessarily enforce the expected application tags on received protocol packets. This implementation does interpret the RFC strictly in this regard, and it remains to be seen whether there are servers out there that will not work well with our approach.

Currently, we only support controls on SearchResult.

#initialize(ber_object) ⇒ PDU

Messy. Does this functionality belong somewhere else?

Instance Method Details

#result ⇒ Object

Returns a hash which (usually) defines the members :resultCode, :errorMessage, and :matchedDN. These values come directly from an LDAP response packet returned by the remote peer. Also see #result_code.



134
135
136
 
# File 'lib/net/ldap/pdu.rb', line 134

def result
  @ldap_result || {}
end

#result_code(code = :resultCode) ⇒ Object

This returns an LDAP result code taken from the PDU, but it will be nil if there wasn’t a result code. That can easily happen depending on the type of packet.

143
144
 
# File 'lib/net/ldap/pdu.rb', line 142

def result_code(code = :resultCode)
  @ldap_result and @ldap_result[code]
end

#result_server_sasl_creds ⇒ Object

Return serverSaslCreds, which are only present in BindResponse packets. – Messy. Does this functionality belong somewhere else? We ought to refactor the accessors of this class before they get any kludgier.
