Net LDAP problem (no attrs or get_attributes methods)

Ruby
1

So I am having difficulty getting the attributes for an LDAP entry. If
I
check for specific attributes by name that works fine. However when I
try
the following:

ldap.search(:base => base, :filter => address_only_filter,
:return_result =>
false) do |entry|
p entry.dn
p entry.attrs
puts “\n\n”
end

I get the following error:

/Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/ruby-net-ldap-0.0.4/lib/net/ldap/entry.rb:152:in
‘method_missing’: undefined method ‘attrs’ (NoMethodError)

I get the same NoMethodError when I try get_attributes.

I am getting a Net::LDAP::Entry object back from the search as verified
by
changing the p entry.attrs to p entry.class

Anyone else run across this?

ldap.search(base, scope, filter, attrs) { |entry|
p entry.dn
p entry.attrs
}

Does the above work for you?

Nope, same error. I passed “*” to the attrs argument.

The docs say string or array of strings. Tried it with :attributes =>
[]
and I get the same error. I also tried reinstalling the gem but that
didn’t
help.

What gem are you using? ruby-net-ldap? via require ‘net/ldap’?
Might help to post more of your code so I can understand the whole
picture of things…

p entry.attrs is invalid as it isn’t a method per’se… hence the
NoMethodError.
attrs is like you said a string or array of strings.

It should be used via connection.add(“dc=localhost, dc=localdomain”,
entry)

Well, attrs should be an array I believe, try initializing it as such:
attrs = []
and see what happens.

Here is the code in its entirety:

require ‘rubygems’
require ‘net/ldap’

ldap = Net::LDAP.new :host => , :port => 389, :auth => { :method =>
:simple,
:username => “”, :password => “” }

address_only_filter = Net::LDAP::Filter.pres(“mailForwardingAddress”) &
~(Net::LDAP::Filter.eq(“mailDeliveryOption”, “forward”))

base = “ou=People,o=cnm.edu,o=cp”

ldap.search(:base => base, :scope =>
Net::LDAP::SearchScope_WholeSubtree,
:filter => address_only_filter, :attributes => “*”) do |entry|
p entry.dn
p entry.attrs
end

I’ve removed the credentials and the host IP intentionally. Calling a
specific attribute on the object works just fine. It just breaks when I
try
to request all of them. I figured it would be the easiest way to ensure
I
only remove the attribute I’m interested in since not all records are
sure
to have the same attributes.
