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 Net::LDAP 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.

If SOCKPATH is not given, the environment variable "LDAPI_SOCK" is evaluated, and if that does not exist, the value "/var/run/ldapi" is used.

See "new" in Net::LDAP for further details.
