in reply to Comparing ldap data using net ldap
The simplest way to do this is to search the entire master directory, and iterate over the record set.
use strict; use Net::LDAP; my $ld = Net::LDAP->new('myserver'); $ld->bind(dn=>'username',password=>'passwd'); my $result = $ld->search(base=>'cn=mydir', scope=>'sub', filter=>'(objectclass=*)'); while (my $entry = $result->entry()) { #do comparison here }
You'll probably need to use page support and/or async searching if your directory contains much in the way of data.
One thing to watch out for: I've done this sort of thing a few times, and tended to find that detecting when entries/attributes aren't there is the trickiest bit. It's also worth noting that there are commercial apps available that will do this sort of thing for you.
