Net::LDAP::Extra -- Load extra Net::LDAP methods
SYNOPSIS
use Net::LDAP::Extra qw(my_extn);
$ldap = Net::LDAP->new( ... );
$ldap->my_extn( ... );
DESCRIPTION
"Net::LDAP::Extra" allows extra methods to be added to Net::LDAP. Normally such methods would be added by sub-classing Net::LDAP, but this
proves to get messy as different people write different additions and others want to use multiple of these sub-classes. Users end up having
to create sub-classes of their own which inherit from all the extension sub-classes just so they can get all the features.
"Net::LDAP::Extra" allows methods to be added directly to all Net::LDAP objects. This can be done by creating a class
"Net::LDAP::Extra::name" which exports functions. A "use Net::LDAP::Extra qw(name)" will then make these functions available as a methods
on all "Net::LDAP" objects.
Care should be taken when choosing names for the functions to export to ensure that they do not clash with others.

Net::LDAP::Extra::AD -- AD convenience methods
SYNOPSIS
use Net::LDAP::Extra qw(AD);
$ldap = Net::LDAP->new( ... );
...
if ($ldap->is_AD || $ldap->is_ADAM) {
$ldap->change_ADpassword($dn, $old_password, $new_password);
}
DESCRIPTION
Net::LDAP::Extra::AD tries to spare users the necessity to reinvent the wheel again and again in order to correctly encode password strings
so that they can be used in AD password change operations.
To do so, it provides the following methods:
METHODS
is_AD ( )
Tell if the LDAP server queried is an Active Directory Domain Controller.
As the check is done by querying the root DSE of the directory, it works without being bound to the directory.
is_ADAM ( )
Tell if the LDAP server queried is running AD LDS (Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services), previously known as ADAM (Active
Directoy Application Mode).
As the check is done by querying the root DSE of the directory, it works without being bound to the directory.
change_ADpassword ( DN, OLD_PASSWORD, NEW_PASSWORD )
Change the password of the account given by DN from its old value OLD_PASSWORD to the new value NEW_PASSWORD.
This method requires encrypted connections.
reset_ADpassword ( DN, NEW_PASSWORD, OPTIONS )
Reset the password of the account given by DN to the value given in NEW_PASSWORD. OPTIONS is a list of key/value pairs. The following
keys are recognized:
force_change
If TRUE, the affected user is required to change the password at next login.
For this method to work, the caller needs to be bound to AD with sufficient permissions, and the connection needs to be encrypted.
