# -*- ruby encoding: utf-8 -*- ## # Objects of this class represent individual entries in an LDAP directory. # User code generally does not instantiate this class. Net::LDAP#search # provides objects of this class to user code, either as block parameters or # as return values. # # In LDAP-land, an "entry" is a collection of attributes that are uniquely # and globally identified by a DN ("Distinguished Name"). Attributes are # identified by short, descriptive words or phrases. Although a directory is # free to implement any attribute name, most of them follow rigorous # standards so that the range of commonly-encountered attribute names is not # large. # # An attribute name is case-insensitive. Most directories also restrict the # range of characters allowed in attribute names. To simplify handling # attribute names, Net::LDAP::Entry internally converts them to a standard # format. Therefore, the methods which take attribute names can take Strings # or Symbols, and work correctly regardless of case or capitalization. # # An attribute consists of zero or more data items called values. An # entry is the combination of a unique DN, a set of attribute names, and a # (possibly-empty) array of values for each attribute. # # Class Net::LDAP::Entry provides convenience methods for dealing with LDAP # entries. In addition to the methods documented below, you may access # individual attributes of an entry simply by giving the attribute name as # the name of a method call. For example: # # ldap.search( ... ) do |entry| # puts "Common name: #{entry.cn}" # puts "Email addresses:" # entry.mail.each {|ma| puts ma} # end # # If you use this technique to access an attribute that is not present in a # particular Entry object, a NoMethodError exception will be raised. # #-- # Ugly problem to fix someday: We key off the internal hash with a canonical # form of the attribute name: convert to a string, downcase, then take the # symbol. Unfortunately we do this in at least three places. Should do it in # ONE place. class Net::LDAP::Entry ## # This constructor is not generally called by user code. def initialize(dn = nil) #:nodoc: @myhash = {} @myhash[:dn] = [dn] end ## # Use the LDIF format for Marshal serialization. def _dump(depth) #:nodoc: to_ldif end ## # Use the LDIF format for Marshal serialization. def self._load(entry) #:nodoc: from_single_ldif_string(entry) end class << self ## # Converts a single LDIF entry string into an Entry object.
