1. Overview
The LDAP module is database driver, i.e. it implements DBv2 API
functions. The goal is map database query defined by table, matching
fields and result fields to LDAP search in sub-tree defined by root,
object class, attributes and pass it to the OpenLDAP which communicates
with the LDAP server.
This procedure is sometimes tricky because the LDAP does not support
all database features or supports them in different manner. Here we
must express especially filtering and multi-values. The multi-value is
de facto array of single values. If the LDAP module get a multi-value
field then generates record for every single value, respectively for
every combination in case the more fields contain multi-value.
The LDAP supports natively "AND", "OR", "NOT" logical operators and
"equal", "non-equal", "less-or-equal" and "greater-or-equal" comparison
operators. Therefore "less" and "greater" operators are mapped as
"less/greater-or-equal-AND-not-equal". It's important realize it when
the attribute which will be used for filtering may contain multi-value.
The LDAP server evaluates comparison operator on multi-value so that
the result for record is true if the condition is satisfied for any
single value. The single values not satisfying condition are not
truncated. It implies two cases for positive comparison, e.g. "equal",
the result contains values not satisfying the condition, the case may
be handled by additional filter in the LDAP module, the negative
comparison, e.g. "non-equal", does not return record at all. Because
the LDAP module cannot know if the LDAP attribute may logically contain
multi-value so there is introduced DB API option client_side_filtering
which forces filtering such fields in the LDAP module, i.e. the LDAP
server returns larger result set because the filtering condition is not
passed there.
The syntax of client_side_filtering value is comma delimited of field
names which won't be used for server-side filter if such a field
appears in a match condition. Instead records will be filtered out in
module. It implies such fields MUST exist in result field list.
The necessary condition of successful filtering of particular attribute
at the LDAP server is correct attribute definition. The
"equal"/"non-equal" operator requires equality matching rule, the
"greater"/"less" operator requires ordering matching rule. If required
matching rule is missing the LDAP server silently returns empty result
set. In case of double filtering both at the LDAP servar and the LDAP
module, e.g. multi-value and equal comparison, check the LDAP server
matching rule satisfies your needs or use client_side_filtering
feature.
The LDAP server may be identified either complete specification of
host, user, password in URI or is specification reference to connection
section of config file. Note in the second case there is only one
slash.
Example 1.1. URI example
...
modparam("auth", "db_url", "ldap://admin:heslo@127.0.0.1");
modparam("auth", "db_url", "ldap:/ldap_server1");
...
Features:
* simple, SASL authentication, TLS
* server and client side filtering
* read-only queries
* optional referral chasing by OpenLDAP
* optional reference chasing by OpenLDAP

3. Parameters
3.1. config (string)
3.2. reconnect_attempt (integer)
3.1. config (string)
Default value is ldap.cfg.
The filename (relatively to ser config file) of mapping database to
LDAP definition. It is the main configuration file for the LDAP module
in SER. The configuration file maps database table names used in SER to
LDAP directory sub-trees to be searched. In addition to that the
configuration file also allows to configure the LDAP search filter and
maps database field names to LDAP attribute names and vice versa.
Example 1.2. Example config
...
modparam("ldap", "config", "my-ldap.cfg");
