Net::LDAP::Control::MaUserdContributed PerNet::LDAP::Control::MatchedValues(3)NAMENet::LDAP::Control::MatchedValues - LDAPv3 MatchedValues Control
SYNOPSIS
use Net::LDAP;
use Net::LDAP::Control::MatchedValues;
$ldap = Net::LDAP->new( "ldap.mydomain.eg" );
$mv = Net::LDAP::Control::MatchedValues->new( matchedValues => '((sn=Jensen)(sn=Miller))' );
# return the entries of all people with first name "Babs",
# but only show the sn if it is "Jensen" or "Miller"
my $mesg = $ldap->search( base => "o=University of Michigan, c=US",
filter => "(givenName=Babs)",
attrs => [ qw/sn/ ],
control => $mv );
DESCRIPTION
"Net::LDAP::Control::MatchedValues" provides an interface for the
creation and manipulation of objects that represent the "MatchedValues
Control" as described by RFC 3876.
The "MatchedValues Control", which only has a meaning with the "Search"
operation, allows the client to specify criteria that restrict the
values of attributes returned. It has no effect on the number of
objects found, but only allows one to restrict the values of the
attributes returned by the search to those matching the criteria.
CONSTRUCTOR ARGUMENTS
In addition to the constructor arguments described in
Net::LDAP::Control the following are provided.
matchedValues => VALUESRETURNFILTER
A filter giving the criteria which attribute values shall be
returned.
VALUESRETURNFILTER is a sequence of simple filter items of the form
"( <ATTRSPEC> <OP> <VALUE> )" surrounded by an additional set of
parentheses; e.g.
((personsAge<=29))
Only return the age if is less than 30 ;-)
((cn=*Emergency*)(telephoneNumber=+1*)(telephoneNumber=911))
Only return those values of the cn that contain "Emergency",
and phone numbers from North America including the one for
emergency calls.
METHODS
As with Net::LDAP::Control each constructor argument described above is
also available as a method on the object which will return the current
value for the attribute if called without an argument, and set a new
value for the attribute if called with an argument.
