#
# == A Brief Introduction to LDAP
#
# We're going to provide a quick, informal introduction to LDAP terminology
# and typical operations. If you're comfortable with this material, skip
# ahead to "How to use Net::LDAP." If you want a more rigorous treatment of
# this material, we recommend you start with the various IETF and ITU
# standards that relate to LDAP.
#
# === Entities
# LDAP is an Internet-standard protocol used to access directory servers.
# The basic search unit is the <i>entity, </i> which corresponds to a person
# or other domain-specific object. A directory service which supports the
# LDAP protocol typically stores information about a number of entities.
#
# === Principals
# LDAP servers are typically used to access information about people, but
# also very often about such items as printers, computers, and other
# resources. To reflect this, LDAP uses the term <i>entity, </i> or less
# commonly, <i>principal, </i> to denote its basic data-storage unit.
#
# === Distinguished Names
# In LDAP's view of the world, an entity is uniquely identified by a
# globally-unique text string called a <i>Distinguished Name, </i> originally
# defined in the X.400 standards from which LDAP is ultimately derived. Much
# like a DNS hostname, a DN is a "flattened" text representation of a string
# of tree nodes. Also like DNS (and unlike Java package names), a DN
# expresses a chain of tree-nodes written from left to right in order from
# the most-resolved node to the most-general one.
#
# If you know the DN of a person or other entity, then you can query an
# LDAP-enabled directory for information (attributes) about the entity.
# Alternatively, you can query the directory for a list of DNs matching a
# set of criteria that you supply.
#
# === Attributes
#
# In the LDAP view of the world, a DN uniquely identifies an entity.
# Information about the entity is stored as a set of <i>Attributes.</i> An
# attribute is a text string which is associated with zero or more values.
# Most LDAP-enabled directories store a well-standardized range of
# attributes, and constrain their values according to standard rules.
#
# A good example of an attribute is <tt>sn, </tt> which stands for "Surname."
# This attribute is generally used to store a person's surname, or last
# name. Most directories enforce the standard convention that an entity's
# <tt>sn</tt> attribute have <i>exactly one</i> value. In LDAP jargon, that
# means that <tt>sn</tt> must be <i>present</i> and <i>single-valued.</i>
#
# Another attribute is <tt>mail, </tt> which is used to store email
# addresses. (No, there is no attribute called "email, " perhaps because
# X.400 terminology predates the invention of the term <i>email.</i>)
# <tt>mail</tt> differs from <tt>sn</tt> in that most directories permit any
# number of values for the <tt>mail</tt> attribute, including zero.
#
# === Tree-Base
# We said above that X.400 Distinguished Names are <i>globally unique.</i>
# In a manner reminiscent of DNS, LDAP supposes that each directory server
# contains authoritative attribute data for a set of DNs corresponding to a
# specific sub-tree of the (notional) global directory tree. This subtree is
# generally configured into a directory server when it is created. It
# matters for this discussion because most servers will not allow you to
# query them unless you specify a correct tree-base.
#
# Let's say you work for the engineering department of Big Company, Inc.,
# whose internet domain is bigcompany.com. You may find that your
# departmental directory is stored in a server with a defined tree-base of
#    ou=engineering, dc=bigcompany, dc=com
# You will need to supply this string as the <i>tree-base</i> when querying
# this directory. (Ou is a very old X.400 term meaning "organizational
# unit." Dc is a more recent term meaning "domain component.")
#
# === LDAP Versions
# (stub, discuss v2 and v3)
#
# === LDAP Operations
# The essential operations are: #bind, #search, #add, #modify, #delete, and
# #rename.
#
# ==== Bind
# #bind supplies a user's authentication credentials to a server, which in
# turn verifies or rejects them. There is a range of possibilities for
# credentials, but most directories support a simple username and password
# authentication.
#
# Taken by itself, #bind can be used to authenticate a user against
# information stored in a directory, for example to permit or deny access to
# some other resource. In terms of the other LDAP operations, most
# directories require a successful #bind to be performed before the other
# operations will be permitted. Some servers permit certain operations to be
# performed with an "anonymous" binding, meaning that no credentials are
# presented by the user. (We're glossing over a lot of platform-specific
# detail here.)
#
# ==== Search
# Calling #search against the directory involves specifying a treebase, a
# set of <i>search filters, </i> and a list of attribute values. The filters
# specify ranges of possible values for particular attributes. Multiple
# filters can be joined together with AND, OR, and NOT operators. A server
# will respond to a #search by returning a list of matching DNs together
# with a set of attribute values for each entity, depending on what
# attributes the search requested.
#
# ==== Add
# #add specifies a new DN and an initial set of attribute values. If the
# operation succeeds, a new entity with the corresponding DN and attributes
# is added to the directory.
#
# ==== Modify
# #modify specifies an entity DN, and a list of attribute operations.
# #modify is used to change the attribute values stored in the directory for
# a particular entity. #modify may add or delete attributes (which are lists
# of values) or it change attributes by adding to or deleting from their
# values. Net::LDAP provides three easier methods to modify an entry's
# attribute values: #add_attribute, #replace_attribute, and
# #delete_attribute.
#
# ==== Delete
# #delete specifies an entity DN. If it succeeds, the entity and all its
# attributes is removed from the directory.
#
# ==== Rename (or Modify RDN)
# #rename (or #modify_rdn) is an operation added to version 3 of the LDAP
# protocol. It responds to the often-arising need to change the DN of an
# entity without discarding its attribute values. In earlier LDAP versions,
# the only way to do this was to delete the whole entity and add it again
# with a different DN.
#
# #rename works by taking an "old" DN (the one to change) and a "new RDN, "
# which is the left-most part of the DN string. If successful, #rename
# changes the entity DN so that its left-most node corresponds to the new
# RDN given in the request. (RDN, or "relative distinguished name, " denotes
# a single tree-node as expressed in a DN, which is a chain of tree nodes.)
#
# == How to use Net::LDAP
# To access Net::LDAP functionality in your Ruby programs, start by
# requiring the library:
#
#  require 'net/ldap'
#
# If you installed the Gem version of Net::LDAP, and depending on your
# version of Ruby and rubygems, you _may_ also need to require rubygems
# explicitly:
#
#  require 'rubygems'
#  require 'net/ldap'
#
# Most operations with Net::LDAP start by instantiating a Net::LDAP object.
# The constructor for this object takes arguments specifying the network
# location (address and port) of the LDAP server, and also the binding
# (authentication) credentials, typically a username and password. Given an
# object of class Net:LDAP, you can then perform LDAP operations by calling
# instance methods on the object. These are documented with usage examples
# below.
#
# The Net::LDAP library is designed to be very disciplined about how it
# makes network connections to servers. This is different from many of the
# standard native-code libraries that are provided on most platforms, which
# share bloodlines with the original Netscape/Michigan LDAP client
# implementations. These libraries sought to insulate user code from the
# workings of the network. This is a good idea of course, but the practical
# effect has been confusing and many difficult bugs have been caused by the
# opacity of the native libraries, and their variable behavior across
# platforms.
#
# In general, Net::LDAP instance methods which invoke server operations make
# a connection to the server when the method is called. They execute the
# operation (typically binding first) and then disconnect from the server.
# The exception is Net::LDAP#open, which makes a connection to the server
# and then keeps it open while it executes a user-supplied block.
# Net::LDAP#open closes the connection on completion of the block.

  # * :host => the LDAP server's IP-address (default 127.0.0.1)
  # * :port => the LDAP server's TCP port (default 389)
  # * :auth => a Hash containing authorization parameters. Currently

  #   The password parameter may be a Proc that returns a String.
  # * :base => a default treebase parameter for searches performed against
  #   the LDAP server. If you don't give this value, then each call to
  #   #search must specify a treebase parameter. If you do give this value,
  #   then it will be used in subsequent calls to #search that do not
  #   specify a treebase. If you give a treebase value in any particular
  #   call to #search, that value will override any treebase value you give
  #   here.
  # * :encryption => specifies the encryption to be used in communicating
  #   with the LDAP server. The value is either a Hash containing additional
  #   parameters, or the Symbol :simple_tls, which is equivalent to
  #   specifying the Hash {:method => :simple_tls}. There is a fairly large

  # Convenience method to specify encryption characteristics for connections
  # to LDAP servers. Called implicitly by #new and #open, but may also be
  # called by user code if desired. The single argument is generally a Hash
  # (but see below for convenience alternatives). This implementation is
  # currently a stub, supporting only a few encryption alternatives. As
  # additional capabilities are added, more configuration values will be
  # added here.
  #
  # Currently, the only supported argument is { :method => :simple_tls }.
  # (Equivalently, you may pass the symbol :simple_tls all by itself,
  # without enclosing it in a Hash.)
  #
  # The :simple_tls encryption method encrypts <i>all</i> communications
  # with the LDAP server. It completely establishes SSL/TLS encryption with
  # the LDAP server before any LDAP-protocol data is exchanged. There is no
  # plaintext negotiation and no special encryption-request controls are
  # sent to the server. <i>The :simple_tls option is the simplest, easiest
  # way to encrypt communications between Net::LDAP and LDAP servers.</i>
  # It's intended for cases where you have an implicit level of trust in the
  # authenticity of the LDAP server. No validation of the LDAP server's SSL
  # certificate is performed. This means that :simple_tls will not produce
  # errors if the LDAP server's encryption certificate is not signed by a
  # well-known Certification Authority. If you get communications or
  # protocol errors when using this option, check with your LDAP server
  # administrator. Pay particular attention to the TCP port you are
  # connecting to. It's impossible for an LDAP server to support plaintext
  # LDAP communications and <i>simple TLS</i> connections on the same port.
  # The standard TCP port for unencrypted LDAP connections is 389, but the
  # standard port for simple-TLS encrypted connections is 636. Be sure you
  # are using the correct port.

  # #bind connects to an LDAP server and requests authentication based on
  # the <tt>:auth</tt> parameter passed to #open or #new. It takes no
  # parameters.
  #
  # User code does not need to call #bind directly. It will be called
  # implicitly by the library whenever you invoke an LDAP operation, such as
  # #search or #add.
  #
  # It is useful, however, to call #bind in your own code when the only
  # operation you intend to perform against the directory is to validate a
  # login credential. #bind returns true or false to indicate whether the
  # binding was successful. Reasons for failure include malformed or
  # unrecognized usernames and incorrect passwords. Use
  # #get_operation_result to find out what happened in case of failure.
  #
  # Here's a typical example using #bind to authenticate a credential which
  # was (perhaps) solicited from the user of a web site:
  #
  #  require 'net/ldap'
  #  ldap = Net::LDAP.new
  #  ldap.host = your_server_ip_address
  #  ldap.port = 389
  #  ldap.auth your_user_name, your_user_password
  #  if ldap.bind
  #    # authentication succeeded
  #  else
  #    # authentication failed
  #    p ldap.get_operation_result
  #  end
  #
  # Here's a more succinct example which does exactly the same thing, but
  # collects all the required parameters into arguments:
  #
  #  require 'net/ldap'
  #  ldap = Net::LDAP.new(:host => your_server_ip_address, :port => 389)
  #  if ldap.bind(:method => :simple, :username => your_user_name,
  #               :password => your_user_password)
  #    # authentication succeeded
  #  else
  #    # authentication failed
  #    p ldap.get_operation_result
  #  end
  #
  # You don't need to pass a user-password as a String object to bind. You
  # can also pass a Ruby Proc object which returns a string. This will cause
  # bind to execute the Proc (which might then solicit input from a user
  # with console display suppressed). The String value returned from the
  # Proc is used as the password.
  #
  # You don't have to create a new instance of Net::LDAP every time you
  # perform a binding in this way. If you prefer, you can cache the
  # Net::LDAP object and re-use it to perform subsequent bindings,
  # <i>provided</i> you call #auth to specify a new credential before
  # calling #bind. Otherwise, you'll just re-authenticate the previous user!
  # (You don't need to re-set the values of #host and #port.) As noted in
  # the documentation for #auth, the password parameter can be a Ruby Proc
  # instead of a String.
  def bind(auth = @auth)
    if @open_connection
      @result = @open_connection.bind(auth)
    else
      begin
        conn = Connection.new(:host => @host, :port => @port,
                              :encryption => @encryption)
        @result = conn.bind(auth)

  # #bind_as is for testing authentication credentials.
  #
  # As described under #bind, most LDAP servers require that you supply a
  # complete DN as a binding-credential, along with an authenticator such as
  # a password. But for many applications (such as authenticating users to a
  # Rails application), you often don't have a full DN to identify the user.
  # You usually get a simple identifier like a username or an email address,
  # along with a password. #bind_as allows you to authenticate these
  # user-identifiers.
  #
  # #bind_as is a combination of a search and an LDAP binding. First, it
  # connects and binds to the directory as normal. Then it searches the
  # directory for an entry corresponding to the email address, username, or
  # other string that you supply. If the entry exists, then #bind_as will
  # <b>re-bind</b> as that user with the password (or other authenticator)
  # that you supply.
  #
  # #bind_as takes the same parameters as #search, <i>with the addition of
  # an authenticator.</i> Currently, this authenticator must be
  # <tt>:password</tt>. Its value may be either a String, or a +proc+ that
  # returns a String. #bind_as returns +false+ on failure. On success, it
  # returns a result set, just as #search does. This result set is an Array
  # of objects of type Net::LDAP::Entry. It contains the directory
  # attributes corresponding to the user. (Just test whether the return
  # value is logically true, if you don't need this additional information.)
  #
  # Here's how you would use #bind_as to authenticate an email address and
  # password:
  #
  #  require 'net/ldap'
  #
  #  user, psw = "joe_user@yourcompany.com", "joes_psw"
  #
  #  ldap = Net::LDAP.new
  #  ldap.host = "192.168.0.100"
  #  ldap.port = 389
  #  ldap.auth "cn=manager, dc=yourcompany, dc=com", "topsecret"
  #
  #  result = ldap.bind_as(:base => "dc=yourcompany, dc=com",
  #                        :filter => "(mail=#{user})",
  #                        :password => psw)
  #  if result
  #    puts "Authenticated #{result.first.dn}"
  #  else
  #    puts "Authentication FAILED."
  #  end
  def bind_as(args = {})
    result = false
    open { |me|
      rs = search args
      if rs and rs.first and dn = rs.first.dn
        password = args[:password]
        password = password.call if password.respond_to?(:call)
        result = rs if bind(:method => :simple, :username => dn,
                            :password => password)
      end
    }

  # Modifies the attribute values of a particular entry on the LDAP
  # directory. Takes a hash with arguments. Supported arguments are:
  # :dn :: (the full DN of the entry whose attributes are to be modified)
  # :operations :: (the modifications to be performed, detailed next)
  #
  # This method returns True or False to indicate whether the operation
  # succeeded or failed, with extended information available by calling
  # #get_operation_result.
  #
  # Also see #add_attribute, #replace_attribute, or #delete_attribute, which
  # provide simpler interfaces to this functionality.
  #
  # The LDAP protocol provides a full and well thought-out set of operations
  # for changing the values of attributes, but they are necessarily somewhat
  # complex and not always intuitive. If these instructions are confusing or
  # incomplete, please send us email or create a bug report on rubyforge.
  #
  # The :operations parameter to #modify takes an array of
  # operation-descriptors. Each individual operation is specified in one
  # element of the array, and most LDAP servers will attempt to perform the
  # operations in order.
  #
  # Each of the operations appearing in the Array must itself be an Array
  # with exactly three elements: an operator:: must be :add, :replace, or
  # :delete an attribute name:: the attribute name (string or symbol) to
  # modify a value:: either a string or an array of strings.
  #
  # The :add operator will, unsurprisingly, add the specified values to the
  # specified attribute. If the attribute does not already exist, :add will
  # create it. Most LDAP servers will generate an error if you try to add a
  # value that already exists.
  #
  # :replace will erase the current value(s) for the specified attribute, if
  # there are any, and replace them with the specified value(s).
  #
  # :delete will remove the specified value(s) from the specified attribute.
  # If you pass nil, an empty string, or an empty array as the value
  # parameter to a :delete operation, the _entire_ _attribute_ will be
  # deleted, along with all of its values.
  #
  # For example:
  #
  #  dn = "mail=modifyme@example.com, ou=people, dc=example, dc=com"
  #  ops = [
  #    [:add, :mail, "aliasaddress@example.com"],
  #    [:replace, :mail, ["newaddress@example.com", "newalias@example.com"]],
  #    [:delete, :sn, nil]
  #  ]
  #  ldap.modify :dn => dn, :operations => ops
  #
  # <i>(This example is contrived since you probably wouldn't add a mail
  # value right before replacing the whole attribute, but it shows that
  # order of execution matters. Also, many LDAP servers won't let you delete
  # SN because that would be a schema violation.)</i>
  #
  # It's essential to keep in mind that if you specify more than one
  # operation in a call to #modify, most LDAP servers will attempt to
  # perform all of the operations in the order you gave them. This matters
  # because you may specify operations on the same attribute which must be
  # performed in a certain order.
  #
  # Most LDAP servers will _stop_ processing your modifications if one of
  # them causes an error on the server (such as a schema-constraint
  # violation). If this happens, you will probably get a result code from
  # the server that reflects only the operation that failed, and you may or
  # may not get extended information that will tell you which one failed.
  # #modify has no notion of an atomic transaction. If you specify a chain
  # of modifications in one call to #modify, and one of them fails, the
  # preceding ones will usually not be "rolled back, " resulting in a
  # partial update. This is a limitation of the LDAP protocol, not of
  # Net::LDAP.
  #
  # The lack of transactional atomicity in LDAP means that you're usually
  # better off using the convenience methods #add_attribute,
  # #replace_attribute, and #delete_attribute, which are are wrappers over
  # #modify. However, certain LDAP servers may provide concurrency
  # semantics, in which the several operations contained in a single #modify
  # call are not interleaved with other modification-requests received
  # simultaneously by the server. It bears repeating that this concurrency
  # does _not_ imply transactional atomicity, which LDAP does not provide.
