I have developed a client-server application in Perl. I'm not using fork or threads but select to handle several simultaneous requests.
Now I want to use an LDAP server to perform user authentication, so the application architecture becomes...
AppClient <======> AppServer <=====> LDAPServer N1 N2
I don't want passwords going clear over N1 or N2 so AppServer should in some way just proxy the LDAP authorization to AppClient.
Another requirement is that, as multiplexing is based on select, I can not use callbacks (even if I can accept running LDAP calls or queries synchronously)
Is there any way to do this with Net::LDAP?
