= Net::LDAP for Ruby
== Description
Net::LDAP for Ruby 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 strives for standards-conformity ({RFC
4511}[http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4511.txt]), but it also provides support
for features in popular non-conforming LDAP servers.
