NAME
Net::LDAP::Extra::AD -- AD convenience methods
SYNOPSIS
use Net::LDAP::Extra qw(AD);
$ldap = Net::LDAP->new( ... );
...
if ($ldap->is_AD || $ldap->is_ADAM) {
$ldap->change_ADpassword($dn, $old_password, $new_password);
}
DESCRIPTION
Net::LDAP::Extra::AD tries to spare users the necessity to reinvent the
wheel again and again in order to correctly encode password strings so
that they can be used in AD password change operations.
To do so, it provides the following methods:
METHODS
is_AD ( )
Tell if the LDAP server queried is an Active Directory Domain
Controller.
As the check is done by querying the root DSE of the directory, it
works without being bound to the directory.
is_ADAM ( )
Tell if the LDAP server queried is running AD LDS (Active Directory
Lightweight Directory Services), previously known as ADAM (Active
Directory Application Mode).
As the check is done by querying the root DSE of the directory, it
works without being bound to the directory.
change_ADpassword ( DN, OLD_PASSWORD, NEW_PASSWORD )
Change the password of the account given by DN from its old value
OLD_PASSWORD to the new value NEW_PASSWORD.
This method requires encrypted connections.
reset_ADpassword ( DN, NEW_PASSWORD, OPTIONS )
Reset the password of the account given by DN to the value given in
NEW_PASSWORD. OPTIONS is a list of key/value pairs. The following
keys are recognized:
force_change
If TRUE, the affected user is required to change the password
at next login.
For this method to work, the caller needs to be bound to AD with
sufficient permissions, and the connection needs to be encrypted.
