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 Entry # This constructor is not generally called by user code. # def initialize dn = nil # :nodoc: @myhash = {} @myhash[:dn] = [dn] end def _dump depth to_ldif end class << self def _load entry from_single_ldif_string entry end end #-- # Discovered bug, 26Aug06: I noticed that we're not converting the # incoming value to an array if it isn't already one. def []=(name, value) # :nodoc: sym = attribute_name(name) value = [value] unless value.is_a?(Array) @myhash[sym] = value end #-- # We have to deal with this one as we do with []= because this one and not # the other one gets called in formulations like entry["CN"] << cn. # def [](name) # :nodoc: name = attribute_name(name) unless name.is_a?(Symbol) @myhash[name] || [] end # Returns the dn of the Entry as a String. def dn self[:dn][0].to_s end # Returns an array of the attribute names present in the Entry. def attribute_names @myhash.keys end # Accesses each of the attributes present in the Entry. # Calls a user-supplied block with each attribute in turn, # passing two arguments to the block: a Symbol giving # the name of the attribute, and a (possibly empty) # Array of data values. # def each if block_given? attribute_names.each {|a| attr_name,values = a,self[a] yield attr_name, values } end end alias_method :each_attribute, :each # Converts the Entry to a String, representing the # Entry's attributes in LDIF format. #-- def to_ldif ary = [] ary << "dn: #{dn}\n" v2 = "" # temp value, save on GC each_attribute do |k,v| unless k == :dn v.each {|v1| v2 = if (k == :userpassword) || is_attribute_value_binary?(v1) ": #{Base64.encode64(v1).chomp.gsub(/\n/m,"\n ")}" else " #{v1}" end ary << "#{k}:#{v2}\n" } end end ary << "\n" ary.join end #-- # TODO, doesn't support broken lines. # It generates a SINGLE Entry object from an incoming LDIF stream which is # of course useless for big LDIF streams that encode many objects. # # DO NOT DOCUMENT THIS METHOD UNTIL THESE RESTRICTIONS ARE LIFTED. # # As it is, it's useful for unmarshalling objects that we create, but not # for reading arbitrary LDIF files.
