Samba::LDAP is a Perl module to manage a Samba PDC with an LDAP Backend.

SYNOPSIS

use Carp;
use Samba::LDAP;

my $samba = Samba::LDAP->new()
or croak "Cant create objectn";
my $domain = $samba->get_local_sid();

Ruby/LDAP is an extension module for Ruby that provides the interface to LDAP libraries such as OpenLDAP.

It provides the interface to some LDAP libraries (for example, OpenLDAP, UMich LDAP, Netscape SDK, ActiveDirectory). The common API for application development is described in RFC1823 and most libraries comply with it. Ruby/LDAP supports those libraries.

guile-ldap is an extension for GNU Guile providing bindings to the OpenLDAP client library. With this library, your Guile Scheme programs can search for information on LDAP servers.

The library does not yet support LDAP operations to modify data on the server; let me know if you have a need for that, or any other missing LDAP features.

Installation:

slashpackage is a good thing. You can read more about it here. If you dont already have /package, create it (on any filesystem you like, as long as its accessible by the name “/package”):

# mkdir -p /usr/local/package
# ln -s /usr/local/package /
# chmod +t /package/.

Then run sp-install:

# sp-install guile-ldap-VERSION.tar.bz2

Or, if you like to do things manually, unpack the tarball and run package/install:

# cd /package
# bunzip2 < /path/to/guile-ldap-VERSION.tar.bz2 |
> tar -xpf -
# cd data/guile-ldap-VERSION
# package/install

Read package/README and package/INSTALL for more detailed instructions.

LDAP Shell is an interactive LDAP shell written in Perl and allowing basic administrative functionality, such as crawling the directory tree and modifying entries.
It is composed of two parts: Net::LDAP::Config, and ldapsh.
Net::LDAP::Config is a library for simplifying and centralizing access to your LDAP repositories. Instead of having every single script ask for your ldap server and search base, or have it hard coded, you can simply use this library:
my $config = Net::LDAP::Config->new("default");
Its got a couple other nice features, like the fact that it caches your LDAP UID (per host), so you should only ever have to type it in once. Its pretty well documented, so perldoc Net::LDAP::config should get you the rest of the way.
ldapsh, and its corresponding library Net::LDAP::Shell, provide (shockingly) the shell behaviour. When run, ldapsh drops you into a (very simple) interpreter.
Even given its simplicity, though, ldapsh is still very useful: You can use it to walk your LDAP tree, you can clone existing objects (using the clone command), remove objects (can you guess the command?), and create new objects using new.
The new command, when provided one or more objectclasses, will automatically retrieve the required and optional attributes for those objectclasses, which can be a great time-saver.
Enhancements:
- A lot of cleanup, some new commands, and Term::ReadKey support.

Samba::LDAP::Config is a Perl module to config file related tasks for Samba::LDAP.

SYNOPSIS

use Samba::LDAP::Config;

my $config = Samba::LDAP::Config->new()
or die "Cant create objectn";

# Returns where smbldap.conf, smbldap_bind.conf and
# smb.conf are located
my $smbldap_conf = $config->find_smbldap();
my $smbldap_bind_conf = $config->find_smbldap_bind();
my $samba_conf = $config->find_samba();

Various methods to find where the related Samba configuration files are saved, read them in and write them out etc. Subclasses Config::Tiny.

INTERFACE

new

Create a new Samba::LDAP::Config object

find_smbldap

Searches in usual places for smbldap.conf and returns location found.

my $smbldap_conf = $config->find_smbldap();

Returns the smbldap.conf in the scripts, if nothing found.

find_smbldap_bind

Searches in usual places for smbldap_bind.conf and returns location found.

my $smbldap_bind_conf = $config->find_smbldap_bind();

Returns the smbldap_bind.conf in the scripts, if nothing found.

find_samba

Searches in usual places for smb.conf and returns location found.

my $smb_conf = $config->find_samba();

Returns the smb.conf in the scripts, if nothing found.

read_conf

Wrapper to provide an instant error message as returned by the native Config::Tiny read method

my $conf = $config->read_conf( $filename );

read_string

Overrides Config::Tinys read_string to exclude the " " marks found in smbldap.conf and smbldap_bind.conf and remove section handling, as we dont have any [sections] in either of these files.

Also substitutes the suffix hash ( ${suffix} ) with its value.
Need to fix the smb.conf reading. Will use File::Samba or Config::Auto for it instead.

Apache LDAP vhost driver project lets you put vhost with all possible information in an LDAP database for both Apache 1.x and 2.x.

Bug report system

With the new maintainence, there is now also a bug report system at the URL http://bugs.bayour.com/ (project mod_ldap_cfg).

Schemas

A schema called mod_ldap_cfg is used.

Apache config

To setup Apache to use this module, the httpd.conf is used.
