LDAP Search Bindings for Node.JS

This is a fork and merge of node-LDAP and node-ldapauth.

Provides a simple LDAP bindings function for running search queries on an LDAP server.

It has SSL (ldaps) and LDAP URI support see man 3 ldap_url.

It does not yet support LDAP bind.

It is still experimental, YMMV!

Building

node-waf configure build

Usage

Ensure libldap (OpenLDAP client library) is installed.

You need to add ldap.node to your application.

var LDAPClient	= require("./build/default/ldap.node"); // Path to ldapauth.node
var LDAPUri		= "ldaps://ldap.example.tld/ou=people,dc=example,dc=tld?cn,sn?sub?(uid=*)";

LDAPClient.Search(LDAPUri,
	function(err, result) {
		if (err) {
			console.log(err);
		} else {
			console.log("Results: ");
			console.log(result);
		}
	}
);

/*
LDAP URI:

scheme://hostport/dn[?attrs[?scope[?filter]]]
  scheme is the ldap scheme, either ldap, ldaps or ldapi
  hostport is a host name with an optional ":portnumber"
  dn is the search base
  attrs is a comma separated list of attributes to request
  scope is one of these three strings:
    base one sub (default=base)
  filter is ldap filter
