Net::LDAPS - phpMan

NAME
    Net::LDAPS - use LDAP over an SSL connection

SYNOPSIS
     use Net::LDAPS;

     $ldaps = Net::LDAPS->new('myhost.example.com',
                              port => '10000',
                              verify => 'require',
                              capath => '/usr/local/cacerts/');

     # alternate way
     use Net::LDAP;

     $ldaps = Net::LDAP->new('ldaps://myhost.example.com:10000',
                             verify => 'require',
                             capath => '/usr/local/cacerts/');

DESCRIPTION
    Communicate using the LDAP protocol to a directory server using an
    encrypted (SSL) network connection. This mechanism is non-standard but
    widely supported; consider using LDAPv3 with the standard TLS extension
    if possible (many servers do not support it yet.) See "start_tls" in
    Net::LDAP.

    All the normal "Net::LDAP" methods can be used with a "Net::LDAPS"
    object; see Net::LDAP for details.

CONSTRUCTOR
    new ( HOST [, OPTIONS ] )
        Create a new connection. HOST is the hostname to contact. OPTIONS is
        a number of key/value pairs. See "new" in Net::LDAP for details.

SEE ALSO
    Net::LDAP, IO::Socket::SSL

BUGS
    You cannot have more than one LDAPS connection at any one time, due to
    restrictions in the underlying Net::SSLeay code.
