NAME

Sys::LDAP - Connects to the LDAP server that serves as the authentication backend for the local system.

SYNOPSIS

  use Sys::LDAP;
  $ldap = new Sys::LDAP;

DESCRIPTION

The "Sys::LDAP" module connects to the LDAP server that serves as the authentication backend for the local system.

FUNCTIONS

new()

Creates a Net::LDAP object using a local configuration file.

If the config paramter is given, this file is read.

If no config paramter is given, several file names are tried (/etc/pam_ldap.conf, /etc/libnss-ldap.conf, /etc/ldap/ldap.conf) to get the configuration.

If /etc/ldap.secret is readable, rootbinddn is used instead of binddn.
