If you're comfortable with this material, skip # ahead to "How to use Net::LDAP." If you want a more rigorous treatment of # this material, we recommend you start with the various IETF and ITU # standards that relate to LDAP. # # === Entities # LDAP is an Internet-standard protocol used to access directory servers. # The basic search unit is the entity, which corresponds to a person # or other domain-specific object. A directory service which supports the # LDAP protocol typically stores information about a number of entities. # # === Principals # LDAP servers are typically used to access information about people, but # also very often about such items as printers, computers, and other # resources. To reflect this, LDAP uses the term entity, or less # commonly, principal, to denote its basic data-storage unit. # # === Distinguished Names # In LDAP's view of the world, an entity is uniquely identified by a # globally-unique text string called a Distinguished Name, originally # defined in the X.400 standards from which LDAP is ultimately derived. Much # like a DNS hostname, a DN is a "flattened" text representation of a string # of tree nodes. Also like DNS (and unlike Java package names), a DN # expresses a chain of tree-nodes written from left to right in order from # the most-resolved node to the most-general one. # # If you know the DN of a person or other entity, then you can query an # LDAP-enabled directory for information (attributes) about the entity. # Alternatively, you can query the directory for a list of DNs matching a # set of criteria that you supply. # # === Attributes # # In the LDAP view of the world, a DN uniquely identifies an entity. # Information about the entity is stored as a set of Attributes. An # attribute is a text string which is associated with zero or more values. # Most LDAP-enabled directories store a well-standardized range of # attributes, and constrain their values according to standard rules. # # A good example of an attribute is sn, which stands for "Surname." # This attribute is generally used to store a person's surname, or last # name. Most directories enforce the standard convention that an entity's # sn attribute have exactly one value. In LDAP jargon, that # means that sn must be present and single-valued. # # Another attribute is mail, which is used to store email # addresses. (No, there is no attribute called "email, " perhaps because # X.400 terminology predates the invention of the term email.) # mail differs from sn in that most directories permit any # number of values for the mail attribute, including zero. # # === Tree-Base # We said above that X.400 Distinguished Names are globally unique. # In a manner reminiscent of DNS, LDAP supposes that each directory server # contains authoritative attribute data for a set of DNs corresponding to a # specific sub-tree of the (notional) global directory tree. This subtree is # generally configured into a directory server when it is created. It # matters for this discussion because most servers will not allow you to # query them unless you specify a correct tree-base. # # Let's say you work for the engineering department of Big Company, Inc., # whose internet domain is bigcompany.com. You may find that your # departmental directory is stored in a server with a defined tree-base of # ou=engineering, dc=bigcompany, dc=com # You will need to supply this string as the tree-base when querying # this directory. (Ou is a very old X.400 term meaning "organizational # unit." Dc is a more recent term meaning "domain component.") # # === LDAP Versions # (stub, discuss v2 and v3) # # === LDAP Operations # The essential operations are: #bind, #search, #add, #modify, #delete, and # #rename. # # ==== Bind # #bind supplies a user's authentication credentials to a server, which in # turn verifies or rejects them. There is a range of possibilities for # credentials, but most directories support a simple username and password # authentication. # # Taken by itself, #bind can be used to authenticate a user against # information stored in a directory, for example to permit or deny access to # some other resource. In terms of the other LDAP operations, most # directories require a successful #bind to be performed before the other # operations will be permitted. Some servers permit certain operations to be # performed with an "anonymous" binding, meaning that no credentials are # presented by the user. (We're glossing over a lot of platform-specific # detail here.) # # ==== Search # Calling #search against the directory involves specifying a treebase, a # set of search filters, and a list of attribute values. The filters # specify ranges of possible values for particular attributes. Multiple # filters can be joined together with AND, OR, and NOT operators. A server # will respond to a #search by returning a list of matching DNs together # with a set of attribute values for each entity, depending on what # attributes the search requested. # # ==== Add # #add specifies a new DN and an initial set of attribute values. If the # operation succeeds, a new entity with the corresponding DN and attributes # is added to the directory. # # ==== Modify # #modify specifies an entity DN, and a list of attribute operations. # #modify is used to change the attribute values stored in the directory for # a particular entity. #modify may add or delete attributes (which are lists # of values) or it change attributes by adding to or deleting from their # values. Net::LDAP provides three easier methods to modify an entry's # attribute values: #add_attribute, #replace_attribute, and # #delete_attribute. # # ==== Delete # #delete specifies an entity DN. If it succeeds, the entity and all its # attributes is removed from the directory. # # ==== Rename (or Modify RDN) # #rename (or #modify_rdn) is an operation added to version 3 of the LDAP # protocol. It responds to the often-arising need to change the DN of an # entity without discarding its attribute values. In earlier LDAP versions, # the only way to do this was to delete the whole entity and add it again # with a different DN. # # #rename works by taking an "old" DN (the one to change) and a "new RDN, " # which is the left-most part of the DN string. If successful, #rename # changes the entity DN so that its left-most node corresponds to the new # RDN given in the request. (RDN, or "relative distinguished name, " denotes # a single tree-node as expressed in a DN, which is a chain of tree nodes.) # # == How to use Net::LDAP # To access Net::LDAP functionality in your Ruby programs, start by # requiring the library: # # require 'net/ldap' # # If you installed the Gem version of Net::LDAP, and depending on your # version of Ruby and rubygems, you _may_ also need to require rubygems # explicitly: # # require 'rubygems' # require 'net/ldap' # # Most operations with Net::LDAP start by instantiating a Net::LDAP object. # The constructor for this object takes arguments specifying the network # location (address and port) of the LDAP server, and also the binding # (authentication) credentials, typically a username and password. Given an # object of class Net:LDAP, you can then perform LDAP operations by calling # instance methods on the object. These are documented with usage examples # below. # # The Net::LDAP library is designed to be very disciplined about how it # makes network connections to servers. This is different from many of the # standard native-code libraries that are provided on most platforms, which # share bloodlines with the original Netscape/Michigan LDAP client # implementations. These libraries sought to insulate user code from the # workings of the network. This is a good idea of course, but the practical # effect has been confusing and many difficult bugs have been caused by the # opacity of the native libraries, and their variable behavior across # platforms. # # In general, Net::LDAP instance methods which invoke server operations make # a connection to the server when the method is called. They execute the # operation (typically binding first) and then disconnect from the server. # The exception is Net::LDAP#open, which makes a connection to the server # and then keeps it open while it executes a user-supplied block. # Net::LDAP#open closes the connection on completion of the block. class Net::LDAP VERSION = "0.2.2" class LdapError < StandardError; end SearchScope_BaseObject = 0 SearchScope_SingleLevel = 1 SearchScope_WholeSubtree = 2 SearchScopes = [ SearchScope_BaseObject, SearchScope_SingleLevel, SearchScope_WholeSubtree ] primitive = { 2 => :null } # UnbindRequest body constructed = { 0 => :array, # BindRequest 1 => :array, # BindResponse 2 => :array, # UnbindRequest 3 => :array, # SearchRequest 4 => :array, # SearchData 5 => :array, # SearchResult 6 => :array, # ModifyRequest 7 => :array, # ModifyResponse 8 => :array, # AddRequest 9 => :array, # AddResponse 10 => :array, # DelRequest 11 => :array, # DelResponse 12 => :array, # ModifyRdnRequest 13 => :array, # ModifyRdnResponse 14 => :array, # CompareRequest 15 => :array, # CompareResponse 16 => :array, # AbandonRequest 19 => :array, # SearchResultReferral 24 => :array, # Unsolicited Notification } application = { :primitive => primitive, :constructed => constructed, } primitive = { 0 => :string, # password 1 => :string, # Kerberos v4 2 => :string, # Kerberos v5 3 => :string, # SearchFilter-extensible 4 => :string, # SearchFilter-extensible 7 => :string, # serverSaslCreds } constructed = { 0 => :array, # RFC-2251 Control and Filter-AND 1 => :array, # SearchFilter-OR 2 => :array, # SearchFilter-NOT 3 => :array, # Seach referral 4 => :array, # unknown use in Microsoft Outlook 5 => :array, # SearchFilter-GE 6 => :array, # SearchFilter-LE 7 => :array, # serverSaslCreds 9 => :array, # SearchFilter-extensible } context_specific = { :primitive => primitive, :constructed => constructed, } AsnSyntax = Net::BER.compile_syntax(:application => application, :context_specific => context_specific) DefaultHost = "127.0.0.1" DefaultPort = 389 DefaultAuth = { :method => :anonymous } DefaultTreebase = "dc=com" StartTlsOid = "1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.20037" ResultStrings = { 0 => "Success", 1 => "Operations Error", 2 => "Protocol Error", 3 => "Time Limit Exceeded", 4 => "Size Limit Exceeded", 12 => "Unavailable crtical extension", 14 => "saslBindInProgress", 16 => "No Such Attribute", 17 => "Undefined Attribute Type", 20 => "Attribute or Value Exists", 32 => "No Such Object", 34 => "Invalid DN Syntax", 48 => "Inappropriate Authentication", 49 => "Invalid Credentials", 50 => "Insufficient Access Rights", 51 => "Busy", 52 => "Unavailable", 53 => "Unwilling to perform", 65 => "Object Class Violation", 68 => "Entry Already Exists" } module LdapControls PagedResults = "1.2.840.113556.1.4.319" # Microsoft evil from RFC 2696 end def self.result2string(code) #:nodoc: ResultStrings[code] || "unknown result (#{code})" end attr_accessor :host attr_accessor :port attr_accessor :base # Instantiate an object of type Net::LDAP to perform directory operations. # This constructor takes a Hash containing arguments, all of which are # either optional or may be specified later with other methods as # described below.

There is no # plaintext negotiation and no special encryption-request controls are # sent to the server. The :simple_tls option is the simplest, easiest # way to encrypt communications between Net::LDAP and LDAP servers. # It's intended for cases where you have an implicit level of trust in the # authenticity of the LDAP server. No validation of the LDAP server's SSL # certificate is performed. This means that :simple_tls will not produce # errors if the LDAP server's encryption certificate is not signed by a # well-known Certification Authority. If you get communications or # protocol errors when using this option, check with your LDAP server # administrator. Pay particular attention to the TCP port you are # connecting to. It's impossible for an LDAP server to support plaintext # LDAP communications and simple TLS connections on the same port. # The standard TCP port for unencrypted LDAP connections is 389, but the # standard port for simple-TLS encrypted connections is 636.

You # can also pass a Ruby Proc object which returns a string. This will cause # bind to execute the Proc (which might then solicit input from a user # with console display suppressed). The String value returned from the # Proc is used as the password. # # You don't have to create a new instance of Net::LDAP every time you # perform a binding in this way. If you prefer, you can cache the # Net::LDAP object and re-use it to perform subsequent bindings, # provided you call #auth to specify a new credential before # calling #bind. Otherwise, you'll just re-authenticate the previous user! # (You don't need to re-set the values of #host and #port.) As noted in # the documentation for #auth, the password parameter can be a Ruby Proc # instead of a String. def bind(auth = @auth) if @open_connection @result = @open_connection.bind(auth) else begin conn = Connection.new(:host => @host, :port => @port, :encryption => @encryption) @result = conn.bind(auth) ensure conn.close if conn end end @result == 0 end # #bind_as is for testing authentication credentials. # # As described under #bind, most LDAP servers require that you supply a # complete DN as a binding-credential, along with an authenticator such as # a password.

First, it # connects and binds to the directory as normal. Then it searches the # directory for an entry corresponding to the email address, username, or # other string that you supply. If the entry exists, then #bind_as will # re-bind as that user with the password (or other authenticator) # that you supply. # # #bind_as takes the same parameters as #search, with the addition of # an authenticator. Currently, this authenticator must be # :password. Its value may be either a String, or a +proc+ that # returns a String. #bind_as returns +false+ on failure.

If these instructions are confusing or # incomplete, please send us email or create a bug report on rubyforge. # # The :operations parameter to #modify takes an array of # operation-descriptors. Each individual operation is specified in one # element of the array, and most LDAP servers will attempt to perform the # operations in order. # # Each of the operations appearing in the Array must itself be an Array # with exactly three elements: an operator:: must be :add, :replace, or # :delete an attribute name:: the attribute name (string or symbol) to # modify a value:: either a string or an array of strings. # # The :add operator will, unsurprisingly, add the specified values to the # specified attribute. If the attribute does not already exist, :add will # create it. Most LDAP servers will generate an error if you try to add a # value that already exists. # # :replace will erase the current value(s) for the specified attribute, if # there are any, and replace them with the specified value(s). # # :delete will remove the specified value(s) from the specified attribute. # If you pass nil, an empty string, or an empty array as the value # parameter to a :delete operation, the _entire_ _attribute_ will be # deleted, along with all of its values. # # For example: # # dn = "mail=modifyme@example.com, ou=people, dc=example, dc=com" # ops = [ # [:add, :mail, "aliasaddress@example.com"], # [:replace, :mail, ["newaddress@example.com", "newalias@example.com"]], # [:delete, :sn, nil] # ] # ldap.modify :dn => dn, :operations => ops # # (This example is contrived since you probably wouldn't add a mail # value right before replacing the whole attribute, but it shows that # order of execution matters. Also, many LDAP servers won't let you delete # SN because that would be a schema violation.) # # It's essential to keep in mind that if you specify more than one # operation in a call to #modify, most LDAP servers will attempt to # perform all of the operations in the order you gave them. This matters # because you may specify operations on the same attribute which must be # performed in a certain order. # # Most LDAP servers will _stop_ processing your modifications if one of # them causes an error on the server (such as a schema-constraint # violation). If this happens, you will probably get a result code from # the server that reflects only the operation that failed, and you may or # may not get extended information that will tell you which one failed. # #modify has no notion of an atomic transaction. If you specify a chain # of modifications in one call to #modify, and one of them fails, the # preceding ones will usually not be "rolled back, " resulting in a # partial update. This is a limitation of the LDAP protocol, not of # Net::LDAP. # # The lack of transactional atomicity in LDAP means that you're usually # better off using the convenience methods #add_attribute, # #replace_attribute, and #delete_attribute, which are are wrappers over # #modify. However, certain LDAP servers may provide concurrency # semantics, in which the several operations contained in a single #modify # call are not interleaved with other modification-requests received # simultaneously by the server.
