Hi,

I try to get read access to LDAP database, but I know only few column
names. How can I get entire list of them? Could anybody post a piece
of entire code, please?

Regards
Leonid

What have you tried, and what was the result?

OT: That's not how LDAP works; each entry can have many different
attributes, not all of which are required.

Post what you've done, learn more about LDAP (from somewhere else), and
ask more specific questions, and perhaps people will be able to help
more effectively.

perldoc Net::LDAP might be useful, too.

You can try the GQ application, if you are not comfortable with LDAP
yet.  It's available for Linux, and works very well.  It will show
you the available fields.

The Net::LDAP module has a schema() method you can use to retrieve
the LDAP server's schema, but it's really much easier to start with a
GUI like GQ.

When searching the directory you don't necessarily need to know _any_ of 
the column names - it's a bit like doing 'SELECT *' in SQL rather than 
naming the columns explicitly.

Look in the Net::LDAP::Entry documentation at the 'attributes' method. 
Personally I've found Net::LDAP all that we need for pulling data from 
Active Directory via LDAP.
