## NAME
    [Net::LDAP::Extra::eDirectory] -- extensions for Novell eDirectory

## SYNOPSIS
      use [Net::LDAP::Extra] qw(eDirectory);

      $ldap = [Net::LDAP]->new( ... );

      ...

      if ($ldap->is_eDirectory)
        my $mesg $ldap->list_replicas($server_dn);

        print "Replicas on $server_dn\n* " . join("\n* ", $mesg->replicas) . "\n"
          if (!$mesg->code);
      }

## DESCRIPTION
    [Net::LDAP::Extra::eDirectory] provides functions / LDAP extensions
    specific to Novell eDirectory.

    To do so, it provides the following methods:

## METHODS
    is_eDirectory ( )
        Tell if the LDAP server queried is Novell eDirectory server.

        As the check is done by querying the root DSE of the directory, it
        works without being bound to the directory.

        In contrast to other [Net::LDAP] methods this method returns TRUE /
        FALSE respectively undef on error.

    list_replicas ( SERVER_DN, OPTIONS )
        Query the replicas on the given server *SERVER_DN*.

        On success, the resulting [Net::LDAP::Message] object supports the
        method "replicas" that returns the list of replicas on *SERVER_DN*.

    get_replica_info ( SERVER_DN, REPLICA_DN, OPTIONS )
        Query information of *REPLICA_DN* on *SERVER_DN*.

        On success, the resulting [Net::LDAP::Message] object supports the
        method "replica_info" that returns a hash containing information on
        *REPLICA_DN*.

    trigger_backlinker ( OPTIONS )
        Trigger the BackLinker process, which resolves external references
        to ensure they refer to real entries.

    trigger_janitor ( OPTIONS )
        Trigger the Janitor process, which checks connectivity to all
        servers in database.

    trigger_limber ( OPTIONS )
        Trigger the Limber process, which verifies the server name, internal
        ipx address and tree connectivity of all replicas.

    trigger_skulker ( OPTIONS )
        Trigger the Skulker process, which checks the synchronization status
        of every server in the replica ring.

    trigger_schemasync ( OPTIONS )
        Trigger SchemaSync.

    trigger_partitionpurge ( OPTIONS )
        Trigger PartitionPurge.

    refresh_ldap_server ( OPTIONS )
        Trigger refreshing the NLDAP service.
