VERSION

This document describes Net::DSML::Control version 0.002

SYNOPSIS

 Control examples.
 
 use Net::DSML;
 use Net::DSML::filter;
 use Net::DSML::Control;

 # Create a DSML Control object with one control.
 $dsmlControl = Net::DSML::Control->new( { oid => 1.2.840.113556.1.4.619,
                             type => base64Binary,
                             criticality => true,
                             value => RFNNTYyLJA==  } );


 Another form of control creation.

 use Net::DSML;
 use Net::DSML::filter;
 use Net::DSML::Control;

 # Create a DSML Control object with no controls.
 $dsmlControl = Net::DSML::Control->new();

 # Add a DSML Control.
 $dsmlControl->add( { control => 1.2.840.113556.1.4.619,
                      type => base64Binary,
                      criticality => true,
                      value => RFNNTYyLJA==  } );

DESCRIPTION

Net::DSML::Control is a module that supplies a LDAP DSML Control object for a Net::DSML operation.

This document assumes that the reader has some knowledge of the LDAP, LDAP Controls and DSML protocols.

INTERFACE

new ( {OPTIONS} )

The method new is the constructor for a new Net::DSML::Control oject.

There are two possible object construction options.

With input options.

 Input option "control":  The control oid number. Required.
 Input option "valuetype":  The xsd type for the value data.
                            Values base64Binary, string, anyURI
 Input option "criticality":  The criticality of the control; 
 true or false.
 Input option "value":  The value of the control.

 $dsml = Net::DSML::Control->new( { control => "1.2.840.113556.1.4.619", 
                             valuetype => "base64Binary", 
                             criticality => "true", 
                             value => "RFNNTYyLJA=="  } );

Method output; Returns a Net::DSML::Control object. If there is an error in the input options, get the error message with the error method.

Without input options.

 $dsml = Net::DSML::Control->new();

Method output; Returns a new DSML object.

error ()

The method error returns the error message for the object. $message = $dsml->error();

clear ()

The method clear resets the object to its default values $result = $dsml->clear(); $result will always contain a 1.

getControl ()

The method getControls returns all of the controls for this object.

 $returnControls = $dsml->getControl();
add ( {OPTIONS} )

Controls can be stack on top of another control.A The method add can be used to add additional controls to the Control object.

If there is one required input option and 3 possible optional options.

 Input option "control":  The control oid number. Required.
 Input option "valuetype":  The xsd type for the value data.
                            Values base64Binary, string, anyURI
 Input option "criticality":  The criticality of the control; 
 true or false.
 Input option "value":  The value of the control.

 $return = $dsml->Control( { control => "1.2.840.113556.1.4.619", 
                             valuetype => "base64Binary", 
                             criticality => "true", 
                             value => "RFNNTYyLJA=="  } );

Method output; Returns true (1) on success; false (0) on error, error message can be gotten with error method. Errors will pretain to input options.

DIAGNOSTICS

All of the error messages should be self explantory.
