NAME¶
Net::LDAP::Control::MatchedValues - LDAPv3 MatchedValues Control
SYNOPSIS¶
use Net::LDAP;
use Net::LDAP::Control::MatchedValues;
$ldap = Net::LDAP->new( "ldap.mydomain.eg" );
$mv = Net::LDAP::Control::MatchedValues->new( matchedValues => '((sn=Jensen)(sn=Miller))' );
# return the entries of all people with first name "Babs",
# but only show the sn if it is "Jensen" or "Miller"
my $mesg = $ldap->search( base => "o=University of Michigan, c=US",
filter => "(givenName=Babs)",
attrs => [ qw/sn/ ],
control => $mv );
DESCRIPTION¶
"Net::LDAP::Control::MatchedValues" provides an interface for the
creation and manipulation of objects that represent the "MatchedValues
Control" as described by RFC 3876.
The "MatchedValues Control", which only has a meaning with the
"Search" operation, allows the client to specify criteria that
restrict the values of attributes returned. It has no effect on the number of
objects found, but only allows one to restrict the values of the attributes
returned by the search to those matching the criteria.
CONSTRUCTOR ARGUMENTS¶
In addition to the constructor arguments described in Net::LDAP::Control the
following are provided.
- matchedValues => VALUESRETURNFILTER
- A filter giving the criteria which attribute values shall be returned.
VALUESRETURNFILTER is a sequence of simple filter items of the form "(
<ATTRSPEC> <OP> <VALUE> )" surrounded by an
additional set of parentheses; e.g.
- ((personsAge<=29))
- Only return the age if is less than 30 ;-)
- ((cn=*Emergency*)(telephoneNumber=+1*)(telephoneNumber=911))
- Only return those values of the cn that contain "Emergency", and
phone numbers from North America including the one for emergency
calls.
METHODS¶
As with Net::LDAP::Control each constructor argument described above is also
available as a method on the object which will return the current value for
the attribute if called without an argument, and set a new value for the
attribute if called with an argument.
