This implementation differs from Authen::Simple::LDAP in way that it will try to bind directly as the users principial.

  • host Connection host, can be a hostname, \s-1IP\s0 number or a \s-1URI\s0. Defaults to \*(C`localhost\*(C'. host => ldap.company.com host => 10.0.0.1 host => ldap://ldap.company.com:389 host => ldaps://ldap.company.com

  • port Connection port, default to 389. May be overridden by host if host is a \s-1URI\s0. port => 389

  • timeout Connection timeout, defaults to 60. timeout => 60

  • principal The suffix in users principal, usally the domain or forrest. Required. principal => 'company.com'

  • log Any object that supports \*(C`debug\*(C', \*(C`info\*(C', \*(C`error\*(C' and \*(C`warn\*(C'. log => Log::Log4perl->get_logger('Authen::Simple::ActiveDirectory')
