Net::LDAP for Ruby implements client access LDAP protocol
Description
Net::LDAP for Ruby (also called net-ldap) implements client access for the
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), an IETF standard protocol for
accessing distributed directory services. Net::LDAP is written completely in
Ruby with no external dependencies. It supports most LDAP client features and
a subset of server features as well.
Net::LDAP has been tested against modern popular LDAP servers including
OpenLDAP and Active Directory. The current release is mostly compliant with
earlier versions of the IETF LDAP RFCs (2251–2256, 2829–2830, 3377, and
3771).
Our roadmap for Net::LDAP 1.0 is to gain full client compliance with
the most recent LDAP RFCs (4510–4519, plus portions of 4520–4532).
