# Module `netapp_ontap.resources.ldap_service`

Copyright © 2023 NetApp Inc. All rights reserved.

This file has been automatically generated based on the ONTAP REST API documentation.

## Overview

LDAP servers are used to centrally maintain user information. LDAP configurations must be set up to lookup information stored in the LDAP directory on the external LDAP servers. This API is used to retrieve and manage LDAP server configurations.

## Retrieving LDAP information

The LDAP GET endpoint retrieves all of the LDAP configurations in the cluster.

## Examples

### Retrieving all of the fields for all LDAP configurations

    from netapp_ontap import HostConnection
    from netapp_ontap.resources import LdapService

    with HostConnection("<mgmt-ip>", username="admin", password="password", verify=False):
        print(list(LdapService.get_collection(fields="**")))

    from netapp_ontap import HostConnection
    from netapp_ontap.resources import LdapService

    with HostConnection("<mgmt-ip>", username="admin", password="password", verify=False):
        resource = LdapService()

        resource.is_netgroup_byhost_enabled = False
        resource.group_membership_filter = ""
        resource.skip_config_validation = False
        resource.post(hydrate=True)
        print(resource)

### Creating an LDAP configuration with Active Directory domain and preferred Active Directory servers specified

    from netapp_ontap import HostConnection
    from netapp_ontap.resources import LdapService

    with HostConnection("<mgmt-ip>", username="admin", password="password", verify=False):
        resource = LdapService()
        resource.svm = {"name": "vs2"}
        resource.ad_domain = "domainA.example.com"
        resource.preferred_ad_servers = ["11.11.11.11"]
        resource.port = 389
        resource.ldaps_enabled = False
        resource.bind_dn = "cn=Administrators,cn=users,dc=domainA,dc=example,dc=com"
        resource.bind_password = "abc"
        resource.base_dn = "dc=domainA,dc=example,dc=com"
        resource.session_security = "none"
        resource.referral_enabled = False
        resource.query_timeout = 3
        resource.post(hydrate=True)
        print(resource)

### Creating an LDAP configuration with a number of optional fields not specified

    from netapp_ontap import HostConnection
    from netapp_ontap.resources import LdapService

    with HostConnection("<mgmt-ip>", username="admin", password="password", verify=False):
        resource = LdapService()
        resource.svm = {"name": "vs2"}
        resource.servers = ["11.11.11.11"]
        resource.port = 389
        resource.bind_dn = "cn=Administrators,cn=users,dc=domainA,dc=example,dc=com"
        resource.bind_password = "abc"
        resource.base_dn = "dc=domainA,dc=example,dc=com"
        resource.session_security = "none"
        resource.post(hydrate=True)
        print(resource)

## Updating an LDAP configuration

The LDAP PATCH endpoint updates the LDAP configuration for the specified SVM. The following example shows a PATCH operation:

    from netapp_ontap import HostConnection
    from netapp_ontap.resources import LdapService

    with HostConnection("<mgmt-ip>", username="admin", password="password", verify=False):
        resource = LdapService(**{"svm.uuid": "179d3c85-7053-11e8-b9b8-005056b41bd1"})
        resource.servers = ["55.55.55.55"]
        resource.schema = "ad_idmu"
        resource.port = 636
        resource.ldaps_enabled = True
        resource.use_start_tls = False
        resource.referral_enabled = False
        resource.patch()

## Deleting an LDAP configuration

The LDAP DELETE endpoint deletes the LDAP configuration for the specified SVM. The following example shows a DELETE operation:

    from netapp_ontap import HostConnection
    from netapp_ontap.resources import LdapService

    with HostConnection("<mgmt-ip>", username="admin", password="password", verify=False):
        resource = LdapService(**{"svm.uuid": "179d3c85-7053-11e8-b9b8-005056b41bd1"})
        resource.delete()

## Classes

`class LdapService (*args, **kwargs)`

  Allows interaction with LdapService objects on the host

  Initialize the instance of the resource.

  Any keyword arguments are set on the instance as properties. For example, if the class was named 'MyResource', then this statement would be true:

      MyResource(name='foo').name == 'foo'

  ## Args

  `*args`
    Each positional argument represents a parent key as used in the URL of the object. That is, each value will be used to fill in a segment of the URL which refers to some parent object. The order of these arguments must match the order they are specified in the URL, from left to right.
  `**kwargs`
    each entry will have its key set as an attribute name on the instance and its value will be the value of that attribute.

  ### Ancestors

  - Resource

  ### Static methods

  `def count_collection (*args, connection: HostConnection = None, **kwargs) -> int`

    Returns a count of all LdapService resources that match the provided query

    This calls GET on the object to determine the number of records. It is more efficient than calling get_collection() because it will not construct any objects. Query parameters can be passed in as kwargs to determine a count of objects that match some filtered criteria.

    ## Args

    `*args`
      Each entry represents a parent key which is used to build the path to the child object. If the URL definition were /api/foos/{foo.name}/bars, then to get the count of bars for a particular foo, the foo.name value should be passed.
    `connection`

    Retrieves the LDAP configurations for all SVMs.

    ### Learn more

    - `DOC /name-services/ldap`

    Find an instance of an object on the host given a query.

    The host will be queried with the provided key/value pairs to find a matching resource. If 0 are found, None will be returned. If more than 1 is found, an error will be raised or returned. If there is exactly 1 matching record, then it will be returned.

    ## Args

    `*args`

    Retrieves the LDAP configurations for all SVMs.

    ### Learn more

    - `DOC /name-services/ldap`

    Fetch a list of all objects of this type from the host.

    This is a lazy fetch, making API calls only as necessary when the result of this call is iterated over. For instance, if max_records is set to 5, then iterating over the collection causes an API call to be sent to the server once for every 5 records. If the client stops iterating before getting to the 6th record, then no additional API calls are made.

    ## Args

    `*args`
      Each entry represents a parent key which is used to build the path to the child object. If the URL definition were /api/foos/{foo.name}/bars, then to get the collection of bars for a particular foo, the foo.name value should be passed.
    `connection`
      The `HostConnection` object to use for this API call. If unset, tries to use the connection which is set globally for the library or from the current context.
    `max_records`

    `**kwargs`
      Any key/value pairs passed will be sent as query parameters to the host.

    ## Returns

    A list of `Resource` objects

    ## Raises

    `NetAppRestError`: If there is no connection available to use either passed in or on the library. This would be not be raised when get_collection() is called, but rather when the result is iterated.

  `def patch_collection (body: dict, *args, records: Iterable[_ForwardRef('LdapService')] = None, poll: bool = True, poll_interval: Optional[int] = None, poll_timeout: Optional[int] = None, connection: HostConnection = None, **kwargs) -> NetAppResponse`

    Updates an LDAP configuration of an SVM.

    ### Important notes

    - Both mandatory and optional parameters of the LDAP configuration can be updated.
    - The LDAP servers and Active Directory domain are mutually exclusive fields. These fields cannot be empty. At any point in time, either the LDAP servers or Active Directory domain must be populated.
    - IPv6 must be enabled if IPv6 family addresses are specified.
      Configuring more than one LDAP server is recommended to avoid a sinlge point of failure. Both FQDNs and IP addresses are supported for the "servers" field. The Active Directory domain or LDAP servers are validated as part of this operation.
      LDAP validation fails in the following scenarios:
    - The server does not have LDAP installed.
    - The server or Active Directory domain is invalid.
    - The server or Active Directory domain is unreachable
