How Swoole supports asynchronous LDAP operations

Nowadays, many enterprises use LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) as the user identity authentication system, but LDAP query operations can easily cause performance bottlenecks. At this time, you need to use Swoole to support asynchronous LDAP operations to improve system performance.

Swoole is a high-performance asynchronous network communication framework based on PHP language. It has built-in common asynchronous IO components such as asynchronous socket, asynchronous MySQL, asynchronous Redis, etc., and supports asynchronous DNS, asynchronous HTTP client, asynchronous HTTP server and other functions. Swoole's high performance and asynchronous IO features make it very suitable for network communication in high concurrency scenarios, such as HTTP services, TCP services, WebSocket services, etc.

First, we need to install the Swoole extension. It can be installed through the following command:

pecl install swoole

After the installation is complete, add the following code in PHP to enable the Swoole extension:

extension=swoole.so

Next, we can create an asynchronous LDAP client through the following code ：

$client = new SwooleCoroutineClient(SWOOLE_SOCK_TCP);

if (!$client->connect('ldap://localhost', 389)) {
    echo "connect failed. Error: {$client->errCode}
";
    exit;
}

$client->set([
    'open_ldap' => true,
    'timeout' => 2,
]);

if (!$client->startTls()) {
    echo "Error: StartTLS failed. Error: {$client->errCode}
";
    exit;
}

if (!$client->bind('cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com', 'password')) {
    echo "Error: Bind failed. Error: {$client->errCode}
";
    exit;
}

if (!$client->search('ou=People,dc=example,dc=com', 'uid=guybrush', ['dn', 'cn', 'mail'])) {
    echo "Error: Search failed. Error: {$client->errCode}
";
    exit;
}

while (true) {
    $entry = $client->getReplies();

    if ($entry === false) {
        echo "Error: Get reply failed. Error: {$client->errCode}
";
        exit;
    }

    if (!$entry) break;

    foreach ($entry as $item) {
        echo "dn: " . $item['dn'] . "
";
        echo "cn: " . $item['cn'] . "
";
        echo "mail: " . $item['mail'] . "

";
    }
}

$client->close();

In the above code, we use Swoole's asynchronous TCP client to connect to the LDAP service, then use the startTls() method to enable TLS encryption, and use the bind() method to bind the administrator account and password, Finally, use the search() method to query the records that meet the conditions in the specified DN. Note that the search() method returns a Generator object, and we need to use the getReplies() method to obtain the query results.

It should be noted that when using Swoole for asynchronous LDAP operations, OpenLDAP support must be enabled, otherwise TLS will not be enabled or other errors will occur. We can enable OpenLDAP support when compiling the Swoole extension:

./configure --enable-openssl --enable-sockets --enable-http2 --enable-coroutine --enable-async-redis --enable-async-mysql --enable-async-httpclient --enable-async-filesystem --enable-open-ldap

In addition to the methods mentioned above, Swoole also provides some other LDAP methods, such as the add() method for adding a record and the modify() method. Used to modify a record, and the delete() method is used to delete a record. The use of these methods is similar to the search() method. They will return Generator objects. You need to use the getReplies() method to obtain the results.

In general, using Swoole for asynchronous LDAP operations is very simple. Through Swoole's asynchronous IO feature, we can avoid performance problems caused by blocking LDAP query operations and obtain better performance.
