NAME
       Net::LDAP::Control::ProxyAuth - LDAPv3 Proxy Authorization control
       object

SYNOPSIS
	use Net::LDAP;
	use Net::LDAP::Control::ProxyAuth;

	$ldap = Net::LDAP->new( "ldap.mydomain.eg" );

	$auth = Net::LDAP::Control::ProxyAuth->new( authzID => 'dn:cn=me,ou=people,o=myorg.com' );

	@args = ( base	   => "cn=subnets,cn=sites,cn=configuration,$BASE_DN",
		  scope	   => "subtree",
		  filter   => "(objectClass=subnet)",
		  callback => \&process_entry, # Call this sub for each entry
		  control  => [ $auth ],
	);

	while(1) {
	  # Perform search
	  my $mesg = $ldap->search( @args );

	  # Only continue on LDAP_SUCCESS
	  $mesg->code and last;

	}

DESCRIPTION
       "Net::LDAP::Control::ProxyAuth" provides an interface for the creation
       and manipulation of objects that represent the "Proxy Authorization
       Control" as described by RFC 4370.

       It allows a client to be bound to an LDAP server with its own identity,
       but to perform operations on behalf of another user, the "authzID".

       With the exception of any extension that causes a change in
       authentication, authorization or data confidentiality, a single "Proxy
       Authorization Control" may be included in any search, compare, modify,
       add, delete, or moddn or extended operation.

       As cqrequired by the RFC, the criticality of this control is
       automatically set to TRUE in order to protect clients from submitting
       requests with other identities that they intend to.

CONSTRUCTOR ARGUMENTS
       In addition to the constructor arguments described in
       Net::LDAP::Control the following are provided.

       authzID
	   The authzID that is required. This is the identity we are
	   requesting operations to use.

       proxyDN
	   In early versions of the drafts to RFC 4370,
	   draft-weltman-ldapv3-proxy-XX.txt, the value in the control and
	   thus the constructor argument was a DN and was called "proxyDN".
	   It served the same purpose as "authzID" in recent versions of
	   "proxyAuthorization" control.

       Please note: Unfortunately the OID and the encoding or the "Proxy
       Authorization Control" changed significantly between early versions of
       draft-weltman-ldapv3-proxy-XX.txt and the final RFC.
       Net::LDAP::Control::ProxyAuth tries to cope with that situation and
       changes the OID and encoding used depending on the constructor
       argument.

       With "proxyDN" as constructor argument the old OID and encoding are
       used, while with "authzID" as constructor argument the new OID and
       encoding are used.  Using this logic servers supporting either OID can
       be handled correctly.

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.
