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 control LDAP. # # === Entities # LDAP is an Internet-standard protocol used to access directory servers. # The basic search unit is the entity, 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 entity, or less # commonly, principal, 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 Distinguished Name, 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 Attributes. # 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 cn, which stands for "Common Name." # In many directories, this attribute is used to store a string consisting of # a person's first and last names. Most directories enforce the convention that # an entity's cn attribute have exactly one value. In LDAP # jargon, that means that cn must be present and # single-valued. # # Another attribute is mail, 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 email.) mail differs # from cn in that most directories permit any number of values for the # mail attribute, including zero. # # # === Tree-Base # We said above that X.400 Distinguished Names are globally unique. # 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 tree-base 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, the bind operation 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 # Searching the directory involves specifying a treebase, a set of search filters, # 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 # An add operation 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. # # ==== Delete # The delete operation 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 # # This is how to access Net::LDAP functionality in your Ruby programs # (note that at present, Net::LDAP is provided as a gem): # # 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, and that 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. # class LDAP class LdapError < Exception; end AsnSyntax = { :application => { :constructed => { 0 => :array, # BindRequest 1 => :array, # BindResponse 2 => :array, # UnbindRequest 3 => :array, # SearchRequest 4 => :array, # SearchData 5 => :array, # SearchResult 6 => :array, # ModifyRequest 7 => :array, # ModifyResponse 8 => :array, # AddRequest 9 => :array, # AddResponse 10 => :array, # DelRequest 11 => :array, # DelResponse 12 => :array, # ModifyRdnRequest 13 => :array, # ModifyRdnResponse 14 => :array, # CompareRequest 15 => :array, # CompareResponse 16 => :array, # AbandonRequest } }, :context_specific => { :primitive => { 0 => :string, # password 1 => :string, # Kerberos v4 2 => :string, # Kerberos v5 } } } DefaultHost = "127.0.0.1" DefaultPort = 389 DefaultAuth = {:method => :anonymous} ResultStrings = { 0 => "Success", 1 => "Operations Error", 16 => "No Such Attribute", 17 => "Undefined Attribute Type", 20 => "Attribute or Value Exists", 32 => "No Such Object", 34 => "Invalid DN Syntax", 48 => "Invalid DN Syntax", 48 => "Inappropriate Authentication", 49 => "Invalid Credentials", 50 => "Insufficient Access Rights", 51 => "Busy", 52 => "Unavailable", 53 => "Unwilling to perform", 68 => "Entry Already Exists" } # # LDAP::result2string # def LDAP::result2string code ResultStrings[code] || "unknown result (#{code})" end # # initialize # def initialize args @host = args[:host] || DefaultHost @port = args[:port] || DefaultPort @verbose = false # Make this configurable with a switch on the class. @auth = args[:auth] || DefaultAuth # This variable is only set when we are created with LDAP::open. # All of our internal methods will connect using it, or else # they will create their own. @open_connection = nil end # # open # def LDAP::open args ldap = LDAP.new args ldap.open {|ldap1| yield ldap1 } end # This method will return a meaningful result any time after # a protocol operation (bind, search, add, modify, rename, delete) # has completed. # It returns an OpenStruct containing an LDAP result code (0 means success), # and a human-readable string. # unless ldap.bind # puts "Result: #{ldap.get_operation_result.code}" # puts "Message: #{ldap.get_operation_result.message}" # end # def get_operation_result os = OpenStruct.new if @result os.code = @result else os.code = 0 end os.message = LDAP.result2string( os.code ) os end # This method opens a network connection to the server and then # passes self to the caller-supplied block.
