NAME

Net::LDAP::Class::Group - base class for LDAP group objects

SYNOPSIS

 package MyGroup;
 use strict;
 use base qw( Net::LDAP::Class::Group );
 
 # define action_for_* methods for your LDAP schema
 
 1;

DESCRIPTION

Net::LDAP::Class::Group is a simple base class intended to be subclassed by schema-specific Net::LDAP::Class::Group::* classes.

METHODS

init

Checks that user_class() is defined.

users_iterator([opts_hashref])

Returns a Net::LDAP::Class::MultiIterator object for all primary and secondary users.

This is the same data as users() returns, but is more efficient since it pages the results and only fetches one at a time.

users

Returns array or array ref (based on context) of primary_users() and secondary_users().

CAUTION: Consider using users_iterator() instead, especially if you have large groups. See Net::LDAP::Class::Iterator for an explanation.

has_user( user )

Returns true if user is amongst users(), false otherwise.

NOTE: This looks at the currently loaded users() and does not do a read of the LDAP server. It is mostly useful for checking whether you've already queued user for addition with add_to_group().

init_user_class

Override this method in your subclass to set the default User class for your Group class.

name

Same as calling cn(). A Group object stringifies to this method.

stringify

Aliased to name().
