Usage

Exldap.Update is essentially a common sense wrapper around the add, delete, and modify functions from Erlang's eldap module with some syntactic sugar sprinkled on top:

• Distinguished names, attribute names, and values can be provided as binary strings instead of charlists
• Attributes can be passed to add either as a map or a keyword list with strings or atoms as keys

  {:ok, connection} = Exldap.connect()
  dn = "CN=ghopper,OU=people,DC=example,DC=org"
  attrs = %{objectClass: ["top", "person"], sn: "Hopper", description: "Admiral Grace Hopper"}
  
  case Exldap.Update.add(connection, dn, attrs) do
    :ok -> IO.puts "Added new entry"
    {:error, :entryAlreadyExists} -> IO.puts "Entry already exists"
    {:error, other} -> IO.puts "Error: #{other}"
  end

  Exldap.Udpate.modify(connection, dn, Exldap.Update.mod_add("displayName", "Admiral Grace Hopper"))
  Exldap.Udpate.modify(connection, dn, Exldap.Update.mod_replace("description", "Hopper, Grace (1906-1992)"))
  
  Exldap.Update.delete(connection, dn)
