LDAP protocol example script

All LDAP functions come in pairs—one for global sessions and one where you can indicate a specific session. To apply the action to all sessions, use the version without the ex suffix. To apply the action to a specific session, use the version with the session identifier with the ex suffix. For example, mldap_logon logs on to the LDAP server globally, while mldap_logon_ex logs on to the LDAP server for a specific session.

In the following example, the user logs on to an LDAP server, ldap1. It adds an entry and then renames the OU attribute from Sales to Marketing. 

Action()
{

// Logon to the LDAP server
mldap_logon("Login", 
                "URL=ldap://johnsmith:tiger@ldap1:80",
                LAST);
// Add an entry for Sally R. Jones
mldap_add("LDAP Add",
          "DN=cn=Sally R. Jones,OU=Sales, DC=com",
          "Name=givenName", "Value=Sally", ENDITEM,
          "Name=initials", "Value=R", ENDITEM,
          "Name=sn", "Value=Jones", ENDITEM,
          "Name=objectClass", "Value=contact", ENDITEM,
          LAST);
// Rename Sally's OU to Marketing
mldap_rename("LDAP Rename",
             "DN=CN=Sally R. Jones,OU=Sales,DC=com",
             "NewDN=OU=Marketing",
             LAST);
// Logout from the LDAP server
mldap_logoff();

    return 0;
}
