I have OpenLDAP ldap with many groupOfNames groups. I want to determine if a user is a member of a specific group.

I would like return a True or False whether user is a member of group or not.

Thanks.

Brian

You can use the compare operation. See perldoc Net::LDAP :

compare ( DN, OPTIONS )
Compare values in an attribute in the entry given by "DN"
on the server. "DN" may be a string or a
Net::LDAP::Entry object.

attr => ATTR
The name of the attribute to compare.

value => VALUE
The value to compare with.

control => CONTROL
control => [ CONTROL, ... ]
See "CONTROLS" below.

callback => CALLBACK
See "CALLBACKS" below.

Example

$mesg = $ldap->compare( $dn,
attr => 'cn',
value => 'Graham Barr'
);
