    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.
