Re: Fwd: modify group membership using perl-ldap

Casey,  the thing to remember, despite what the Microsoft GUI tells you
is that you add objects as members to a group not add the groups
to the object/user.

I use something like the following to add a user to a group:

sub addGroupMember {
    my $groupDn = shift;
    my $dn = shift;
    $mesg = $ldap->modify(
        $groupDn,
        changes => [ add => [ member => $dn ] ]
    );
    $mesg->code && print "failed to add group membership: ", 
$result->error;
}

You can extend this theme to remove from groups etc...

regards.

Si
