LDAP API Example

Privilege Manager for Unix Built-in Functions and Procedures > LDAP API Example

Privilege Manager policy language supports the use of LDAP calls to obtain data on the following platforms:

  • all versions of Linux® on x86 supported by Privilege Manager
  • all versions of Linux® on x86-64 supported by Privilege Manager
  • Solaris® SPARC® 6 and above
  • AIX® 5.2 and above
  • HP-UX PA-RISC 11 and above

Privilege Manager LDAP functions follow, as closely as possible, the API outlined in RFC 1823 to ensure compatibility and ease of understanding.

The feature_enabled() function indicates whether the LDAP functions are available on a particular policy server. (See feature_enabled for details.)

The following example illustrates the use of the LDAP functions.

if (!feature_enabled(FEATURE_LDAP) { 
   print("LDAP support is not available on this policy server"); 
} else { 
   ld_user = "cn=Directory Manager"; 
   ld_passwd = "password"; 
   ld_host = "ldapserver"; 
   BASEDN="ou=People,dc=skynet,dc=local"; 
   SCOPE="onelevel"; 
   FILTER="(objectClass=*)"; 
   ATTRLIST={}; 
   ATTRONLY=false; 

   print( "LDAP Server: " + ld_host ); 
   print( "    User DN: " + ld_user ); 
   print( "   Password: " + ld_passwd ); 
   print( "" ); 
   print( "    Base DN: " + BASEDN ); 
   print( "      Scope: " + SCOPE ); 
   print( "     Filter: " + FILTER ); 
   print( "" ); 

   # Open a connection to the directory server 
   ldapid = ldap_open( ld_host ); 
   if( ldapid < 0 ) { 
      print( "ldap_open failed" ); 
      reject; 
   } 
   # bind to the directory 
   rc = ldap_bind( ldapid, ld_user, ld_passwd ); 
   if( rc==0 ) { 
      # perform the search 
      ld_results = ldap_search( ldapid, BASEDN, SCOPE, FILTER, ATTRLIST, ATTRONLY ); 
      if( ld_results >= 0 ) { 
         # how many results have been returned? 
         num = ldap_count_entries( ldapid, ld_results ); 
         str = sprintf( "Num results = %d", num ); 
         print(str); 
         print(""); 
         print("RESULTS");

         if( num>0 ) { 
            # Grab the first entry from the results 
            lentry = ldap_first_entry( ldapid, ld_results ); 
            while( lentry ) {

List Functions

Privilege Manager for Unix Built-in Functions and Procedures > List Functions

These are the built-in list functions available to use within the policy file:

Table 40: List functions
Name Description
append Append to a list.
insert Insert a string or list into a list.
join Concatenate a list into a string.
length Return the length of a string, list, or array.
lsubst Substitute part of a string with another string throughout all or part of a list.
range Select a range of entries in a list
replace Replace one or more strings in a list.
search Search a list for a string.
split Convert a string into a list.
splitSubst Convert a string into a list

append

Privilege Manager for Unix Built-in Functions and Procedures > List Functions > append
Syntax
list append( list dest, list|string src1 [, list|string src2, ...])
Description

append creates a list constructed by appending the specified strings or lists src1, src2, etc. to the end of the list dest and returns a new list.

Example
trustedusers = {"jamie", "cory", "robyn"}; 
a = append(trustedusers, "adrian");

sets a to the following list:

{"jamie", "cory", "robyn", "adrian"}

insert

Privilege Manager for Unix Built-in Functions and Procedures > List Functions > insert
Syntax
list insert( list dest, int index, string src1, [, string src2, ...] )
Description

insert constructs a list by inserting strings into a list at the specified position. Note that the first element in the list is index: 0. If the index is greater than the length of the specified list (for example, 999), then the strings append to the end of the list.

Returns the newly constructed list.

Example
trustedusers={"jamie", "cory", "robyn"}; 
a=insert(trustedusers, 1, "leslie");

sets a to the list:

{"jamie", "leslie", "cory", "robyn"}
