Samba::LDAP::Config - Config file related tasks for Samba::LDAP

VERSION

This document describes Samba::LDAP::Config version 0.05

SYNOPSIS

    use Samba::LDAP::Config;

    my $config = Samba::LDAP::Config->new()
        or die "Can't create object\n";
    
    # Returns where smbldap.conf, smbldap_bind.conf and
    # smb.conf are located
    my $smbldap_conf = $config->find_smbldap();    
    my $smbldap_bind_conf = $config->find_smbldap_bind();
    my $samba_conf = $config->find_samba();
    

DESCRIPTION

Various methods to find where the related Samba configuration files are saved, read them in and write them out etc. Subclasses Config::Tiny

DEVELOPER RELEASE!

BE WARNED - Not yet complete and neither are the docs!

INTERFACE

new

Create a new Samba::LDAP::Config object

find_smbldap

Searches in usual places for smbldap.conf and returns location found.

    my $smbldap_conf = $config->find_smbldap();

Returns the smbldap.conf in the scripts, if nothing found.

find_smbldap_bind

Searches in usual places for smbldap_bind.conf and returns location found.

    my $smbldap_bind_conf = $config->find_smbldap_bind();

Returns the smbldap_bind.conf in the scripts, if nothing found.

find_samba

Searches in usual places for smb.conf and returns location found.

    my $smb_conf = $config->find_samba();

Returns the smb.conf in the scripts, if nothing found.

read_conf

Wrapper to provide an instant error message as returned by the native Config::Tiny read method

    my $conf = $config->read_conf( $filename );

read_string

Overrides Config::Tiny's read_string to exclude the " " marks found in smbldap.conf and smbldap_bind.conf and remove section handling, as we don't have any [sections] in either of these files.

Also substitutes the suffix hash ( ${suffix} ) with its value.

Need to fix the smb.conf reading. Will use File::Samba or Config::Auto for it instead.

DIAGNOSTICS

None yet.

CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT

Samba::LDAP::Config requires no configuration files or environment variables.

DEPENDENCIES

Config::Tiny, Regexp::DefaultFlags and Readonly

INCOMPATIBILITIES

None reported.
