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.
