Net::LDAPI - use LDAP over a UNIX domain socket

NAME

Net::LDAPI - use LDAP over a UNIX domain socket

SYNOPSIS

 use Net::LDAPI;
 $ldapi = Net::LDAPI->new('/var/run/ldapi');
 # alternate way
 use Net::LDAP;
 $ldapi = Net::LDAP->new('ldapi://');

DESCRIPTION

Communicate using the LDAP protocol to a directory server using a UNIX domain socket. This mechanism is non-standard, UNIX-specific and not widely supported.

All the normal Net::LDAP methods can be used with a Net::LDAPI object; see the Net::LDAP manpage for details.

CONSTRUCTOR

new ( [SOCKPATH] )
Create a new connection. SOCKPATH can optionally be specified, to specify the location of the UNIX domain socket to connect to. See new in the Net::LDAP manpage for details.

SEE ALSO

the Net::LDAP manpage, the IO::Socket::UNIX manpage
