Re: PerlLDAP with openLDAP

[Nguyen T. P. <Pho...@sd...>]

Hi Mark,

Thank you for your instruction. I now have the following RPM packages
installed on my machine.

perl-Convert-ASN1-0.07-1
perl-MIME-Base64-2.11-2
perl-MD5-1.7-2
perl-URI-1.02-2
perl-Net-LDAP-0.19-1
perl-5.00503-6

The perl-MD5 might be not correct because I don't see any Digest module, but
I guest I still be able to perform a simple LDAP search. However when I did
a simple LDAP search, I got error 89 (Bad filter?). I'm newbie to Perl so
maybe I'm missing something. Please provide
me with some help.

Thanks.

#!/usr/bin/perl

#LDAP Headers
use Getopt::Std;   # To parse command line arguments.
use Net::LDAP;  # LULU, utilities.
use Net::LDAP::Util;  # LULU, utilities.

use strict;
no strict "vars";


$serverLDAP = "LDAP.sgn.vn";
$portLDAP = "389";

$base = 'o=sgn,c=vn';
$conn = Net::LDAP->new ($serverLDAP, port => $portLDAP) or die "$@";
$conn->debug(3);
#$conn->bind (dn => 'cn=administrator, o=sgn, c=vn', passwd => 'secret') or
die "$@";
$conn->bind () || die "$@";
$search = $conn->search($base, filter => '(uid=*)');
$code = $search->code;
printf "Search code: %s, %s\n", $code, $search->error;
warn "Search object: $search\n" if $code && die "$@";
$count = $search->count;
print "Number of entries: $count\n";
$entry = $search->pop_entry;
print "Entry object: $entry\n";
@entries = $search->entries();
print "@entries\n";
$conn->unbind();
