Overview

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.
