Various methods to add, delete, modify and show Samba LDAP Groups

DEVELOPER RELEASE!

BE WARNED - Not yet complete and neither are the docs!

Create a new Samba::LDAP::Group object

Not complete.

Add $username to LDAP group $group

    my $result = $group->add_to_group( $group, $username);
    print "$username added to $group\n" if $result;

Pass in a list of groups for the user or users to be added to.

For one user:

    my $groups_aref = [ 'staff', 'directors', 'contractors', ];

    my $result = $group->add_to_groups( $groups_aref, $username  );
    print "$username added to groups\n" if $result;

List of users and groups:

    my $groups_ref = {
                        admin => [ 'staff', 'directors', 'contractors', ],
                        ghenry => [ 'web_team', 'finance', 'cleaners', ],
                     };

    my $result = $group->add_to_groups( $group_ref );
    print "Added to groups\n" if $result;

Find the groups that $username belongs to. Returns an Array of groups.

    my @groups = $group->find_groups( $username );
    print "@groups";

Deletes group name from LDAP tree

    my $delete_result = $group->delete_group( $group_name );
    print "$delete_result";

Remove the user from $group. Removes memberUid and member entries

    my $result = $group->remove_from_group( $group, $username )
    print "$group removed\n" if $result;

Lists the entries for that group

    my $group_info = $group->show_group( $group );
    print "$group_info\n";

Not complete.

Check the group is either a name or number.

    my $result = $group->parse_group( $userGidNumber );

Not complete.

Check that the user is a member of the group already

    my $result = $self->is_group_member( $dn,$userid );
    print "$userid is a member of $dn\n" if $result;

Return all posixGroup details. Similar to show_group and will be re-organised later

    my $group_info = $group->read_group_entry( $group );
    print "$group_info\n";

Utility method.

Read the group number in the LDAP Directory.

    my $group_number = $group->read_group_entry_gid( $group );
    print $group_number\n";
