DESCRIPTION

This is the Net::LDAP model class for Catalyst. It is nothing more than a simple wrapper for Net::LDAP.

This class simplifies LDAP searches by letting you configure a base DN. Other Net::LDAP methods are supported via Perl's AUTOLOAD mechanism.

METHODS

new

Create a new Catalyst LDAP model component.

_client

Bind the client using the current configuration and return it.

_execute

Execute the specified LDAP command.
