NAME

6       Net::LDAP::Extra::AD -- AD convenience methods
7

SYNOPSIS

9         use Net::LDAP::Extra qw(AD);
10
11         $ldap = Net::LDAP->new( ... );
12
13         ...
14
15         if ($ldap->is_AD || $ldap->is_ADAM) {
16           $ldap->change_ADpassword($dn, $old_password, $new_password);
17         }

DESCRIPTION

20       Net::LDAP::Extra::AD tries to spare users the necessity to reinvent the
21       wheel again and again in order to correctly encode password strings so
22       that they can be used in AD password change operations.
23
24       To do so, it provides the following methods:
25

METHODS

27       is_AD ( )
28           Tell if the LDAP server queried is an Active Directory Domain
29           Controller.
30
31           As the check is done by querying the root DSE of the directory, it
32           works without being bound to the directory.
33
34       is_ADAM ( )
35           Tell if the LDAP server queried is running AD LDS (Active Directory
36           Lightweight Directory Services), previously known as ADAM (Active
37           Directoy Application Mode).
38
39           As the check is done by querying the root DSE of the directory, it
40           works without being bound to the directory.
41
42       change_ADpassword ( DN, OLD_PASSWORD, NEW_PASSWORD )
43           Change the password of the account given by DN from its old value
44           OLD_PASSWORD to the new value NEW_PASSWORD.
45
46           This method requires encrypted connections.
47
48       reset_ADpassword ( DN, NEW_PASSWORD, OPTIONS )
49           Reset the password of the account given by DN to the value given in
50           NEW_PASSWORD.  OPTIONS is a list of key/value pairs. The following
51           keys are recognized:
52
53           force_change
54               If TRUE, the affected user is required to change the password
55               at next login.
56
57           For this method to work, the caller needs to be bound to AD with
58           sufficient permissions, and the connection needs to be encrypted.
