Field Detail

CLIENTCONTROLS

static final int CLIENTCONTROLS

Option specifying client controls for LDAP operations. These controls are interpreted by the client and are not passed to the LDAP server.

See Also:

LDAPControl, LDAPConnection.getOption(int), LDAPConnection.setOption(int, java.lang.Object), Constant Field Values

SERVERCONTROLS

static final int SERVERCONTROLS

Option specifying server controls for LDAP operations. These controls are passed to the LDAP server. They may also be returned by the server.

See Also:

LDAPControl, LDAPConnection.getOption(int), LDAPConnection.setOption(int, java.lang.Object), Constant Field Values

NO_ATTRS

static final java.lang.String NO_ATTRS

Attribute type that you can specify in the LDAPConnection search method if you don't want to retrieve any of the attribute types for entries found by the search.

See Also:

LDAPConnection.search(netscape.ldap.LDAPUrl), Constant Field Values

ALL_USER_ATTRS

static final java.lang.String ALL_USER_ATTRS

Attribute type that you can specify in the LDAPConnection search method if you want to retrieve all attribute types. You can use this if you want to retrieve all attributes in addition to an operational attribute. For example:

 ...
 String [] MY_ATTRS = { LDAPv3.ALL_USER_ATTRS, "modifiersName",
     "modifyTimestamp" };
 LDAPSearchResults res = ld.search( MY_SEARCHBASE,
     LDAPConnection.SCOPE_SUB, MY_FILTER, MY_ATTRS, false, cons );
 ...

Method Detail

connect

void connect(int version,
             java.lang.String host,
             int port,
             java.lang.String dn,
             java.lang.String passwd)
      throws LDAPException

Connects and authenticates to the LDAP server using the specified version of the LDAP protocol.

Parameters:

version - requested version of the LDAP protocol: currently 2 or 3

host - hostname of the LDAP server

port - port number of the LDAP server. To specify the default port, use DEFAULT_PORT.

dn - distinguished name to use for authentication

passwd - password for authentication

Throws:

LDAPException - Failed to connect and authenticate to the server.

authenticate

void authenticate(int version,
                  java.lang.String dn,
                  java.lang.String passwd)
           throws LDAPException

Authenticates to the LDAP server (to which the object is currently connected) using the specified name, password, and version of the LDAP protocol. If the server does not support the requested protocol version, an exception is thrown. If the object has been disconnected from an LDAP server, this method attempts to reconnect to the server. If the object had already authenticated, the old authentication is discarded.

Parameters:

version - requested LDAP protocol version: currently 2 or 3.

dn - if non-null and non-empty, specifies that the connection and all operations through it should authenticate with dn as the distinguished name

passwd - if non-null and non-empty, specifies that the connection and all operations through it should authenticated with passwd as password

Throws:

LDAPException - Failed to authenticate to the LDAP server.

bind

void bind(int version,
          java.lang.String dn,
          java.lang.String passwd)
   throws LDAPException

Authenticates to the LDAP server (to which the object is currently connected) using the specified name, password, and version of the LDAP protocol. If the server does not support the requested version of the protocol, an exception is thrown. If the object has been disconnected from an LDAP server, this method attempts to reconnect to the server. If the object had already authenticated, the old authentication is discarded.

Parameters:

version - requested LDAP protocol version: currently 2 or 3.

dn - if non-null and non-empty, specifies that the connection and all operations through it should authenticate with dn as the distinguished name

passwd - if non-null and non-empty, specifies that the connection and all operations through it should authenticate with passwd as password

Throws:

LDAPException - Failed to authenticate to the LDAP server.

extendedOperation

LDAPExtendedOperation extendedOperation(LDAPExtendedOperation op)
                                 throws LDAPException

Performs an extended operation on the directory. Extended operations are part of version 3 of the LDAP protocol.

Parameters:

op - LDAPExtendedOperation object specifying the OID of the extended operation and the data to use in the operation

Returns:

LDAPExtendedOperation object representing the extended response returned by the server.

Throws:

LDAPException - Failed to execute the operation

     throws LDAPException

Renames and moves an entry in the directory.

Parameters:

DN - original distinguished name (DN) for the entry

newRDN - new relative distinguished name (RDN) for the entry

newParentDN - distinguished name of the new parent entry of the specified entry

deleteOldRDN - specifies whether or not to remove the old RDN when renaming and moving the entry. If true, the old RDN will be deleted.

Throws:

LDAPException - Failed to rename the specified entry.

void rename(java.lang.String DN,
            java.lang.String newRDN,
            java.lang.String newParentDN,

newRDN - new relative distinguished name (RDN) for the entry

newParentDN - distinguished name of the new parent entry of the specified entry

deleteOldRDN - specifies whether or not to remove the old RDN when renaming and moving the entry. If true, the old RDN will be deleted.

cons - the constraints set for the rename operation

Throws:

LDAPException - Failed to rename the specified entry.
