NAME

6       Net::SSLGlue::LDAP - proper certificate checking for ldaps in Net::LDAP
7

SYNOPSIS

9           use Net::SSLGlue::LDAP;
10           local %Net::SSLGlue::LDAP = ( SSL_verifycn_name => $hostname_in_cert );
11           my $ldap = Net::LDAP->new( $hostname, capath => ... );
12           $ldap->start_tls;
13

DESCRIPTION

15       Net::SSLGlue::LDAP modifies Net::LDAP so that it does proper
16       certificate checking using the "ldap" SSL_verify_scheme from
17       IO::Socket::SSL.
18
19       Because Net::LDAP does not have a mechanism to forward arbitrary
20       parameters for the construction of the underlying socket these
21       parameters can be set globally when including the package, or with
22       local settings of the %Net::SSLGlue::LDAP::SSLopts variable.
23
24       All of the "SSL_*" parameters from IO::Socket::SSL can be used; the
25       following parameter is especially useful:
26
27       SSL_verifycn_name
28           Usually the name given as the hostname in the constructor is used
29           to verify the identity of the certificate. If you want to check the
30           certificate against another name you can specify it with this
31           parameter.
32
33       "SSL_ca_path", "SSL_ca_file" for IO::Socket::SSL can be set with the
34       "capath" and "cafile" parameters of Net::LDAP::new and
35       "SSL_verify_mode" can be set with "verify", but the meaning of the
36       values differs ("none" is 0, e.g. disable certificate verification).
