= Net::LDAP for Ruby

== 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 (22512256, 28292830, 3377, and 3771).
Our roadmap for Net::LDAP 1.0 is to gain full <em>client</em> compliance with
the most recent LDAP RFCs (45104519, plus portions of 45204532).

== Where

* {RubyForge}[http://rubyforge.org/projects/net-ldap]
* {GitHub}[https://github.com/ruby-ldap/ruby-net-ldap]
* {ruby-ldap@googlegroups.com}[http://groups.google.com/group/ruby-ldap]
* {Documentation}[http://net-ldap.rubyforge.org/]

The Net::LDAP for Ruby documentation, project description, and main downloads
can currently be found on {RubyForge}[http://rubyforge.org/projects/net-ldap].

== Synopsis

See Net::LDAP for documentation and usage samples.

== Requirements

Net::LDAP requires a Ruby 1.8.7 interpreter or better.

== Install

Net::LDAP is a pure Ruby library. It does not require any external libraries.
You can install the RubyGems version of Net::LDAP available from the usual
sources.

  gem install net-ldap

Simply require either 'net-ldap' or 'net/ldap'.

For non-RubyGems installations of Net::LDAP, you can use Minero Aoki's
{setup.rb}[http://i.loveruby.net/en/projects/setup/] as the layout of
Net::LDAP is compliant. The setup installer is not included in the
Net::LDAP repository.
