Net::LDAP::Entry(3)                  User Contributed Perl Documentation                 Net::LDAP::Entry(3)



NAME
       Net::LDAP::Entry - An LDAP entry object

SYNOPSIS
        use Net::LDAP;

        $ldap = Net::LDAP->new ( $host );
        $mesg = $ldap->search ( @search_args );

        my $max = $mesg->count;
        for ( $i = 0 ; $i < $max ; $i++ ) {
          my $entry = $mesg->entry ( $i );
          foreach my $attr ( $entry->attributes ) {
            print join( "\n ", $attr, $entry->get_value( $attr ) ), "\n";
          }
        }

        # or

        use Net::LDAP::Entry;

        $entry = Net::LDAP::Entry->new;

        $entry->dn($dn);

        $entry->add (
          attr1 => 'value1',
          attr2 => [ qw(value1 value2) ]
        );

        $entry->delete ( 'unwanted' );

        $entry->replace (
          attr1 => 'newvalue'
          attr2 => [ qw(new values) ]
        );

        $entry->update ( $ldap ); # update directory server

        $entry2 = $entry->clone; # copies entry

        # new alternate syntax

        $entry = Net::LDAP::Entry->new ( $dn
          , attr1 => 'value1'
          , attr2 => [ qw(value1 value2) ]
        )->add(
          attr3   => 'value'
        )->update( $ldap );

DESCRIPTION
       The Net::LDAP::Entry object represents a single entry in the directory.  It is a container for
       attribute-value pairs.

       A Net::LDAP::Entry object can be used in two situations. The first and probably most common use is in
       the result of a search to the directory server.

       The other is where a new object is created locally and then a single command is sent to the directory
       server to add, modify or replace an entry. Entries for this purpose can also be created by reading an
       LDIF file with the Net::LDAP::LDIF module.

CONSTRUCTORS
       new ( )
           Create a new entry object with the changetype set to 'add'.  Optionally, you can provide a DN and
           a list of arguments passed to the add method.

            Net::LDAP::Entry->new()

            # or
            Net::LDAP::Entry->new( $dn )

            # or
            Net::LDAP::Entry->new( $dn ,
             objectClass => [qw( top posixAccount )] , uid => 'admin'
            )

       clone ( )
           Returns a copy of the Net::LDAP::Entry object.

METHODS
       add ( ATTR => VALUE, ... )
           Add more attributes or values to the entry and returns the entry itself. Each "VALUE" should be a
           string if only a single value is wanted in the attribute, or a reference to an array of strings
           if multiple values are wanted. The values given will be added to the values which already exist
           for the given attributes.

            $entry->add ( 'sn' => 'Barr' );

            $entry->add ( 'street' => [ '1 some road','nowhere' ] );

           NOTE: these changes are local to the client and will not appear on the directory server until the
           "update" method is called. As "add" returns the entry, you can write something like.

            $entry->add ( 'sn' => 'Barr' )->update( $ldap );

       attributes ( OPTIONS )
           Return a list of attributes in this entry

           nooptions => 1
               Return a list of the attribute names excluding any options. For example for the entry

                 name: Graham Barr
                 name;en-us: Bob
                 jpeg;binary: **binary data**

               then

                 @values = $entry->attributes;
                 print "default: @values\n";

                 @values = $entry->attributes ( nooptions => 1 );
                 print "nooptions: @values\n";

               will output

                 default: name name;en-us jpeg;binary
                 nooptions: name jpeg

       changetype ( )
           Returns the type of operation that would be performed when the update method is called.

       changetype ( TYPE )
           Set the type of operation that will be performed when the update method is called to "TYPE".
           Returns the entry itself.

           Possible values for "TYPE" are

           add The update method will call the add method on the client object, which will result in the
               entry being added to the directory server.

           delete
               The update method will call the delete method on the client object, which will result in the
               entry being removed from the directory server.

                $entry->delete->update( $ldap )

           modify
               The update method will call the modify method on the client object, which will result in any
               changes that have been made locally being made to the entry on the directory server.

           moddn/modrdn
               The update method will call the moddn method on the client object, which will result in any
               DN changes that have been made locally being made to the entry on the directory server. These
               DN changes are specified by setting the entry attributes newrdn, deleteoldrdn, and
               (optionally) newsuperior.

       delete ( )
           Delete the entry from the server on the next call to "update".

       delete ( ATTR => [ VALUE, ... ], ... )
           Delete the values of given attributes from the entry. Values are references to arrays; passing a
           reference to an empty array is the same as passing "undef", and will result in the entire
           attribute being deleted. For example:

            $entry->delete ( 'mail' => [ 'foo.bar@example.com' ] );
            $entry->delete ( 'description' => [ ], 'streetAddress' => [ ] );

           NOTE: these changes are local to the client and will not appear on the directory server until the
           "update" method is called.

       dn ( )
           Get the DN of the entry.

       dn ( DN )
           Set the DN for the entry, and return the previous value.

           NOTE: these changes are local to the client and will not appear on the directory server until the
           "update" method is called.

       ldif ( OPTION => VALUE, ... )
           Returns the entry as an LDIF string. Possible options are

           change => VALUE
               If given a true value then the LDIF will be generated as a change record.  If false, then the
               LDIF generated will represent the entry content. If unspecified then it will default to true
               if the entry has changes and false if no changes have been applied to the entry.

       dump ( [ FILEHANDLE ] )
           Dump the entry to the given filehandle.

           This method is intended for debugging purposes and does not treat binary attributes specially.

           See Net::LDAP::LDIF on how to generate LDIF output.

           If "FILEHANDLE" is omitted "STDOUT" is used by default.

       exists ( ATTR )
           Returns "TRUE" if the entry has an attribute called "ATTR".

       get_value ( ATTR, OPTIONS )
           Get the values for the attribute "ATTR". In a list context returns all values for the given
           attribute, or the empty list if the attribute does not exist. In a scalar context returns the
           first value for the attribute or undef if the attribute does not exist.

           alloptions => 1
               The result will be a hash reference. The keys of the hash will be the options and the hash
               value will be the values for those attributes.  For example if an entry had:

                name: Graham Barr
                name;en-us: Bob

               Then a get for attribute "name" with alloptions set to a true value

                $ref = $entry->get_value ( 'name', alloptions => 1 );

               will return a hash reference that would be like

                {
                  ''       => [ 'Graham Barr' ],
                  ';en-us' => [ 'Bob' ]
                }

               If alloptions is not set or is set to false only the attribute values for the exactly
               matching name are returned.

           asref => 1
               The result will be a reference to an array containing all the values for the attribute, or
               "undef" if the attribute does not exist.

                $scalar = $entry->get_value ( 'name' );

               $scalar will be the first value for the "name" attribute, or "undef" if the entry does not
               contain a "name" attribute.

                $ref = $entry->get_value ( 'name', asref => 1 );

               $ref will be a reference to an array, which will have all the values for the "name"
               attribute. If the entry does not have an attribute called "name" then $ref will be "undef".

           NOTE: In the interest of performance the array references returned by "get_value" are references
           to structures held inside the entry object. These values and thier contents should NOT be
           modified directly.

       replace ( ATTR => VALUE, ... )
           Similar to "add", except that the values given will replace any values that already exist for the
           given attributes.

           NOTE: these changes are local to the client and will not appear on the directory server until the
           "update" method is called.

       update ( CLIENT [, OPTIONS ] )
           Update the directory server with any changes that have been made locally to the attributes of
           this entry. This means any calls that have been made to add, replace or delete since the last
           call to changetype or update was made.

           This method can also be used to modify the DN of the entry on the server, by specifying moddn or
           modrdn as the changetype, and setting the entry attributes newrdn, deleteoldrdn, and (optionally)
           newsuperior.

           "CLIENT" is a "Net::LDAP" object where the update will be sent to.

           "OPTIONS" may be options to the "Net::LDAP" actions on CLIENT corresponding to the entry's
           changetype.

           The result will be an object of type Net::LDAP::Message as returned by the add, modify or delete
           method called on CLIENT.

           Alternatively "CLIENT" can also be a "Net::LDAP::LDIF" object, that must be an LDIF file opened
           for writing.

           In this case, "OPTIONS" my be options that the method "write_entry" of "Net::LDAP::LDIF" takes.

           Here too, the result is an object class "Net::LDAP::Message".  On error, the error code is
           "LDAP_OTHER" with the LDIF error message in the error text.
