If the underlying library provides enough information,
each LDAP object will also have the following attributes.
These attributes are mutable unless described as read-only.
- deref
- Controls whether aliases are automatically dereferenced.
This must be one of
DEREF_NEVER, DEREF_SEARCHING, DEREF_FINDING,
or DEREF_ALWAYS.
This option is mapped to option constant OPT_DEREF
and used in the underlying OpenLDAP lib.
- protocol_version
- Version of LDAP in use (either VERSION2 for LDAPv2
or VERSION3 for LDAPv3).
This option is mapped to option constant OPT_PROTOCOL_VERSION
and used in the underlying OpenLDAP lib.
Note
It is highly recommended to set the protocol version after establishing
a LDAP connection with initialize() and before submitting
the first request.
- sizelimit
- Limit on size of message to receive from server.
Defaults to NO_LIMIT.
This option is mapped to option constant OPT_SIZELIMIT
and used in the underlying OpenLDAP lib. Its use is deprecated
in favour of sizelimit parameter when using search_ext().
- timelimit
- Limit on waiting for any response, in seconds.
Defaults to NO_LIMIT.
This option is mapped to option constant OPT_TIMELIMIT
and used in the underlying OpenLDAP lib. Its use is deprecated
in favour of using timeout.
- timeout
- Limit on waiting for any response, in seconds.
Defaults to NO_LIMIT.
This option is used in the wrapper module.
