34 "Net::LDAP::Control::ProxyAuth" provides an interface for the creation
35 and manipulation of objects that represent the "Proxy Authorization
36 Control" as described by RFC 4370.
37 It allows a client to be bound to an LDAP server with its own identity,
39 but to perform operations on behalf of another user, the "authzID".
40 With the exception of any extension that causes a change in
42 authentication, authorization or data confidentiality, a single "Proxy
43 Authorization Control" may be included in any search, compare, modify,
44 add, delete, or moddn or extended operation.
45 As required by the RFC, the criticality of this control is
47 automatically set to TRUE in order to protect clients from submitting
48 requests with other identities that they intend to.
49
51 In addition to the constructor arguments described in
52 Net::LDAP::Control the following are provided.
53 authzID
55 The authzID that is required. This is the identity we are
56 requesting operations to use.
57 proxyDN
59 In early versions of the drafts to RFC 4370,
60 draft-weltman-ldapv3-proxy-XX.txt, the value in the control and
61 thus the constructor argument was a DN and was called "proxyDN".
62 It served the same purpose as "authzID" in recent versions of
63 "proxyAuthorization" control.
64 Please note: Unfortunately the OID and the encoding or the "Proxy
66 Authorization Control" changed significantly between early versions of
67 draft-weltman-ldapv3-proxy-XX.txt and the final RFC.
68 Net::LDAP::Control::ProxyAuth tries to cope with that situation and
69 changes the OID and encoding used depending on the constructor
70 argument.
71 With "proxyDN" as constructor argument the old OID and encoding are
73 used, while with "authzID" as constructor argument the new OID and
74 encoding are used. Using this logic servers supporting either OID can
75 be handled correctly.
76
78 As with Net::LDAP::Control each constructor argument described above is
79 also available as a method on the object which will return the current
80 value for the attribute if called without an argument, and set a new
81 value for the attribute if called with an argument.
