Connects and binds to an LDAP directory. This sample must be performed at least once prior to any other sample. Leave login and password empty for an anonymous bind. When trying to connect over SSL (LDAPS), beware of setting Java properties regarding trusted certificates: the LDAP server certificate, when not signed by a recognized certification authority, must be added to a Java trust store file, possibly protected by a password. Both the path to the trust store file and the associated password must be specified via these Java system properties: -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=/path/to/keystore -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword=the_keystore_password Performs a search operation in the LDAP directory. A successful call to sample 'bind' is mandatory prior to running any search. The number of result entries may be limited unless this limit is set to 0, which means unlimited. Search results may be stored in a buffer for further reference via a number of variable statements: - ${myLdap:bufferName:#} number of entries left to read; - ${myLdap:bufferName:} gets the next entry and returns all of its attributes as name-value pairs; - ${myLdap:bufferName:attributeName} gets the next entry and returns the value of its attribute whose name is given. Disconnects from the LDAP server. A successful call to sample 'bind' is mandatory prior to calling 'closeConnection'. Add entry into an ldap directory. A successful call to sample 'bind' is mandatory prior to adding an entry. Delete entry into an ldap directory. A successful call to sample 'bind' is mandatory prior to deleting an entry. Add attributes into an entry of a ldap directory. A successful call to sample 'bind' is mandatory prior to adding attributes. Delete attributes of entries of a ldap directory. A successful call to sample 'bind' is mandatory prior to deleting attributes. True if the LDAP connection is established, false otherwise. True if the LDAP connection is not established, false otherwise. True if there is at least one entry left to read in a search results buffer, false otherwise. True if there is no more entry left to read in a search results buffer, false otherwise.
