LDAPS for pdm_perl (CASDM 17.3)

[Peter Schmidt]

Hi,

since years I'm using pdm_perl for access to LDAP which worked fine.

Now I would need LDAPS.PM-libs running for ..\perllibs\5.12.2 or better ..\perlibs\5.28.2

copying LDAPS.pm, SSLeay.pm from other perl does not work.

running 

    pdm_perl -MCPAN -e shell

starts the cpan-shell BUT there

     install LDAPS.pm

does not work.

Does anyone have expereience with it (and success)?

Many thanks,

Peter

Hello,

It seems like you are trying to install the LDAPS.pm library for pdm_perl to access LDAP over LDAPS. LDAPS.pm is a Perl module that enables secure connections to LDAP servers using SSL/TLS.

 

Since you've mentioned that copying LDAPS.pm and SSLeay.pm from another Perl installation didn't work, it's likely that the versions of those modules are not compatible with your current pdm_perl version (either 5.12.2 or 5.28.2).

 

To successfully install LDAPS.pm for your specific pdm_perl version, you might need to use the appropriate package manager or repository for your Perl distribution. Unfortunately, the steps to achieve this could vary depending on your system and Perl setup.

 

You can try reaching out to the community or support forums for your specific Perl distribution, or the CA Service Desk Manager (CASDM) community, to seek guidance from others who might have faced a similar issue and successfully installed LDAPS.pm for pdm_perl version 5.12.2 or 5.28.2. They might be able to provide more tailored and precise instructions to help you achieve your goal.

Hello Peter,

many thanks for your answer.

What I found till today:

• pdm_perl is based on active State Perl
• pdm_perl is based on Version 5.36 (only) since CASM 17.3 RU18

So I decided to do all LDAPS-things with 5.36. I tried to install under activeState 5.36 and move site-modules to perllib of CASM.

1. This works already for LDAP-Modules
2. under activeState I tried to install (windows) LDAPS which requires SSLeay

• This didn't work and I had to do other things meanwhile
  • I'm using gcc/gmake at the moment, maybe it should be nmake?
• I hope that anybody tried that before. CA-Broadcom itself didn't try it. I received answer yesterday from CASE for it that they wan't.

Regards,

Peter

Hii, LiveTheOrangeLife

As per I see your post and I want to suggestion below:

To use LDAPS.pm with pdm_perl and access LDAP over SSL, you need to ensure the correct version of the libraries is compatible with your Perl version. Instead of copying the libraries from another Perl installation, try installing the required version using the cpan shell with the appropriate Perl version. For example: 

pdm_perl5.12.2 -MCPAN -e shell

install Net::LDAPS

I hope this may be help you.
