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.
