This directory contains an extension to Tcl to interface with an
|
|
|
|
|
LDAP server. While this software is being released to the OpenLDAP
|
|
|
|
|
community, it is the authors' intention that support continue (and
|
|
|
|
|
be added) for other client libraries as well. As time goes on, it
|
|
|
|
|
is expected that code will converge rather than diverge.
|
|
|

|
Support is provided for University of Michigan LDAP version 3.3,
|
1999-07-27 15:29:27 +08:00
|
|
|
OpenLDAP, and Netscape. The default configuration supports
|
2001-07-11 06:17:09 +08:00
|
|
|
OpenLDAP 1.2.4 and above.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
OpenLDAP 2.x is supported, but there is not yet any support for
|
|
|
|
|
using SASL or TLS. There may be interface changes in the LDAP API
|
|
|
|
|
which the author is unaware of (a leak was recently fixed for the
|
|
|
|
|
return values of ldap_first/next_attribute() calls).

It uses GNU autoconf. It builds and installs without requiring
|
|
|
|
|
parallel directories, but it does require that Tcl and Extended Tcl
|
|
|
|
|
are installed in the directory pointed to by --prefix (/usr/local
|
|
|
|
|
by default).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For further info, try "./configure --help".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For example, I run:
|
|
|
|
|
|
1999-07-27 15:29:27 +08:00
|
|
|
./configure --prefix=/opt/neotcl --enable-shared \
|
|
|
|
|
--with-ldap=/usr/local/ldap
|
1999-02-11 07:56:49 +08:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Remember that --prefix must be the same prefix used when building
|
|
|
|
|
and installint Tcl.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Netscape configuration has not been well tested, and you may have to
|
|
|
|
|
play with the resulting Makefile to get it to work. In particular,
|
|
|
|
|
you will probably need to modify the LDAP_LIBFLAGS. However, the
|
|
|
|
|
C code itself is reasonably well tested with Netscape.

This module will install a regular shell (ldaptclsh) a windowing
|
|
|
|
|
shell (ldapwish) a library, a pkgIndex.tcl, and a manpage (ldap.n).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If your Tcl installation has been configured with --enable-shared,
|
1999-07-27 15:29:27 +08:00
|
|
|
then you must also use --enable-shared here.

Shared libraries and Tcl packages.

|
|

1999-07-27 15:29:27 +08:00
|
|
|
If Tcl is built with --enable-shared, AND OpenLDAP (or another version
|
1999-02-11 07:56:49 +08:00
|
|
|
for that matter) has been build to create -llber and -lldap as shared
|
1999-07-27 15:29:27 +08:00
|
|
|
libaries, AND you build ldaptcl with --enable-shared, it should be
|
1999-02-11 07:56:49 +08:00
|
|
|
possible to run a plain Tcl interpreter (eg. tclsh8.0) and do
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
package require Ldaptcl
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
which will install the "ldap" command into the interpreter.
|
|
|
|
|
|
1999-07-27 15:29:27 +08:00
|
|
|
You may need to set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable appropriately,
|
|
|
|
|
or use -R or -W,-rpath ld command options to resolve the search for ldap
|
|
|
|
|
and lber libraries.

This package was test built on a Alpha OSF4.0e with the native C

compiler.
