this includes setting some handlers for special events. +All handlers take a pointer to the \fBldap_sync_t\fP structure as the first +argument, and a pointer to the \fBLDAPMessage\fP structure as received +from the server by the client library, plus, occasionally, other specific +arguments. + +The members of the \fBldap_sync_t\fP structure are: +.TP +.BI "char *" ls_base +The search base; by default, the +.B BASE +option in +.BR ldap.conf (5). +.TP +.BI "int " ls_scope +The search scope (one of +.BR LDAP_SCOPE_BASE , +.BR LDAP_SCOPE_ONELEVEL , +.BR LDAP_SCOPE_SUBORDINATE +or +.BR LDAP_SCOPE_SUBTREE ; +see +.B ldap.h +for details). +.TP +.BI "char *" ls_filter +The filter (RFC 4515); by default, +.BR (objectClass=*) . +.TP +.BI "char **" ls_attrs +The requested attributes; by default +.BR NULL , +indicating all user attributes. +.TP +.BI "int " ls_timelimit +The requested time limit (in seconds); by default +.BR 0 , +to indicate no limit. +.TP +.BI "int " ls_sizelimit +The requested size limit (in entries); by default +.BR 0 , +to indicate no limit. +.TP +.BI "int " ls_timeout +The desired timeout during polling with +.BR ldap_sync_poll (3). +A value of +.BR \-1 +means that polling is blocking, so +.BR ldap_sync_poll (3) +will not return until a message is received; a value of +.BR 0 +means that polling returns immediately, no matter if any response +is available or not; a positive value represents the timeout the +.BR ldap_sync_poll (3) +function will wait for response before returning, unless a message +is received; in that case, +.BR ldap_sync_poll (3) +returns as soon as the message is available. +.TP +.BI "ldap_sync_search_entry_f " ls_search_entry +A function that is called whenever an entry is returned. +The +.BR msg +argument is the +.BR LDAPMessage +that contains the searchResultEntry; it can be parsed using the regular +client API routines, like +.BR ldap_get_dn (3), +.BR ldap_first_attribute (3), +and so on. +The +.BR entryUUID +argument contains the entryUUID of the entry. +The +.BR phase +argument indicates the type of operation: one of +.BR LDAP_SYNC_CAPI_PRESENT , +.BR LDAP_SYNC_CAPI_ADD , +.BR LDAP_SYNC_CAPI_MODIFY , +.BR LDAP_SYNC_CAPI_DELETE ; +in case of +.BR LDAP_SYNC_CAPI_PRESENT +or +.BR LDAP_SYNC_CAPI_DELETE , +only the DN is contained in the +.IR LDAPMessage ; +in case of +.BR LDAP_SYNC_CAPI_MODIFY , +the whole entry is contained in the +.IR LDAPMessage , +and the application is responsible of determining the differences +between the new view of the entry provided by the caller and the data +already known. +.TP +.BI "ldap_sync_search_reference_f " ls_search_reference +A function that is called whenever a search reference is returned. +The +.BR msg +argument is the +.BR LDAPMessage +that contains the searchResultReference; it can be parsed using +the regular client API routines, like +.BR ldap_parse_reference (3). +.TP +.BI "ldap_sync_intermediate_f " ls_intermediate +A function that is called whenever something relevant occurs during +the refresh phase of the search, which is marked by +an \fIintermediateResponse\fP message type. +The +.BR msg +argument is the +.BR LDAPMessage +that contains the intermediate response; it can be parsed using +the regular client API routines, like +.BR ldap_parse_intermediate (3). +The +.BR syncUUIDs +argument contains an array of UUIDs of the entries that depends +on the value of the +.BR phase +argument. +In case of +.BR LDAP_SYNC_CAPI_PRESENTS , +the "present" phase is being entered; +this means that the following sequence of results will consist +in entries in "present" sync state. +In case of +.BR LDAP_SYNC_CAPI_DELETES , +the "deletes" phase is being entered; +this means that the following sequence of results will consist +in entries in "delete" sync state. +In case of +.BR LDAP_SYNC_CAPI_PRESENTS_IDSET , +the message contains a set of UUIDs of entries that are present; +it replaces a "presents" phase. +In case of +.BR LDAP_SYNC_CAPI_DELETES_IDSET , +the message contains a set of UUIDs of entries that have been deleted; +it replaces a "deletes" phase. +In case of +.BR LDAP_SYNC_CAPI_DONE, +a "presents" phase with "refreshDone" set to "TRUE" has been returned +to indicate that the refresh phase of refreshAndPersist is over, and +the client should start polling. +Except for the +.BR LDAP_SYNC_CAPI_PRESENTS_IDSET +and +.BR LDAP_SYNC_CAPI_DELETES_IDSET +cases, +.BR syncUUIDs +is NULL. +.BR +.TP +.BI "ldap_sync_search_result_f " ls_search_result +A function that is called whenever a searchResultDone is returned. +In refreshAndPersist this can only occur when the server decides +that the search must be interrupted. +The +.BR msg +argument is the +.BR LDAPMessage +that contains the response; it can be parsed using +the regular client API routines, like +.BR ldap_parse_result (3). +The +.BR refreshDeletes +argument is not relevant in this case; it should always be \-1. +.TP +.BI "void *" ls_private +A pointer to private data. The client may register here +a pointer to data the handlers above may need. +.TP +.BI "LDAP *" ls_ld +A pointer to a LDAP structure that is used to connect to the server. +It is the responsibility of the client to initialize the structure +and to provide appropriate authentication and security in place. + +.SH "GENERAL USE" +A +.B ldap_sync_t +structure is initialized by calling +.BR ldap_sync_initialize(3). +This simply clears out the contents of an already existing +.B ldap_sync_t +structure, and sets appropriate values for some members. +After that, the caller is responsible for setting up the +connection (member +.BR ls_ld ), +eventually setting up transport security (TLS), +for binding and any other initialization. +The caller must also fill all the documented search-related fields +of the +.B ldap_sync_t +structure. + +At the end of a session, the structure can be cleaned up by calling +.BR ldap_sync_destroy (3), +which takes care of freeing all data assuming it was allocated by +.BR ldap_mem* (3) +routines. +Otherwise, the caller should take care of destroying and zeroing out +the documented search-related fields, and call +.BR ldap_sync_destroy (3) +to free undocumented members set by the API. + +.SH "REFRESH ONLY" +The +.BR refreshOnly +functionality is obtained by periodically calling +.BR ldap_sync_init (3) +with mode set to +.BR LDAP_SYNC_REFRESH_ONLY , +or, which is equivalent, by directly calling +.BR ldap_sync_init_refresh_only (3). +The state of the search, and the consistency of the search parameters, +is preserved across calls by passing the +.B ldap_sync_t +structure as left by the previous call. + +.SH "REFRESH AND PERSIST" +The +.BR refreshAndPersist +functionality is obtained by calling +.BR ldap_sync_init (3) +with mode set to +.BR LDAP_SYNC_REFRESH_AND_PERSIST , +or, which is equivalent, by directly calling +.BR ldap_sync_init_refresh_and_persist (3) +and, after a successful return, by repeatedly polling with +.BR ldap_sync_poll (3) +according to the desired pattern. + +A client may insert a call to +.BR ldap_sync_poll (3) +into an external loop to check if any modification was returned; +in this case, it might be appropriate to set +.BR ls_timeout +to 0, or to set it to a finite, small value. +Otherwise, if the client's main purpose consists in waiting for +responses, a timeout of \-1 is most suitable, so that the function +only returns after some data has been received and handled. + +.SH ERRORS +All routines return any LDAP error resulting from a lower-level error +in the API calls they are based on, or LDAP_SUCCESS in case of success. +.BR ldap_sync_poll (3) +may return +.BR LDAP_SYNC_REFRESH_REQUIRED +if a full refresh is requested by the server. +In this case, it is appropriate to call +.BR ldap_sync_init (3) +again, passing the same +.B ldap_sync_t +structure as resulted from any previous call. +.SH NOTES +.SH SEE ALSO +.BR ldap (3), +.BR ldap_search_ext (3), +.BR ldap_result (3) ; +.B RFC 4533 +(http://www.rfc-editor.org), +.SH AUTHOR +Designed and implemented by Pierangelo Masarati, based on RFC 4533 +and loosely inspired by syncrepl code in +.BR slapd (8). +.SH ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS +Initially developed by +.BR "SysNet s.n.c." +.B OpenLDAP +is developed and maintained by The OpenLDAP Project (http://www.openldap.org/). +.B OpenLDAP +is derived from University of Michigan LDAP 3.3 Release. -- cgit v1.2.3
