Samba::LDAP::User(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Samba::LDAP::User(3)

Samba::LDAP::User - Manipulate a Samba LDAP User

This document describes Samba::LDAP::User version 0.05

    use Carp;
    use Samba::LDAP::User;
    
    # create Template object
    my $user = Samba::LDAP::User->new()
        or croak "Can't create object\n";

Various methods to manipulate a Samba LDAP user. Add, delete, modify, show and change a users password.

DEVELOPER RELEASE!

BE WARNED - Not yet complete and neither are the docs!

Create a new Samba::LDAP::User object

Takes many options. For example:

    user =>
    oldpass =>
    newpass =>
    workstation =>
    ou =>
    user_uid =>
    group =>
    windows_user =>
    trust_account =>
    homedir =>
    shell =>
    gecos =>
    skeleton_dir =>
    surname =>
    family_name =>
    local_mail_address =>
    mail_to_address =>
    time_to_wait =>
    aix =>
    groups =>
    ox =>
    can_change_pass =>
    must_change_pass =>
    account_flags =>
    logon_script =>
    home_path =>
    home_drive =>
    user_profile =>
    aix_user =>

The above options are only needed if you don't want to use the defaults that are set in /etc/smbldap/smbldap.conf

    change_password( 
                   user    => 'ghenry',
                   oldpass => "$oldpass",
                   newpass => "$newpass",
                   samba   => '1', # Update only Samba pass, can be
                                  # unix => '1' for unix pass only
                );

Change user password in LDAP Directory

Checks the users exists first, then changes the password If user doesn't exist, returns the error etc.

If no oldpass arg is passed, binds as rootdn and sets a password

Default is set to change/add a Samba "and" Unix password. If you don't want this, pass in unix => '0', or samba => '0', etc.

None yet.

Samba::LDAP::User requires no environment variables, only /etc/smbldap/smbldap.conf and /etc/smbldap/smbldap_bind.conf

Carp Regexp::DefaultFlags Readonly Crypt::SmbHash Digest::MD5 Digest::SHA1 MIME::Base64 List::MoreUtils Unicode::MapUTF8
