= Net::LDAP for Ruby
|
||
|
||
== Description
|
||
|
||
Net::LDAP for Ruby (also called "net-ldap") is a pure-Ruby LDAP support
|
||
library that has been tested against several modern servers, including
|
||
OpenLDAP and Active Directory. It supports most LDAP client features and
|
||
a subset of server features.
|
||
|
||
LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) is an Internet protocol for
|
||
accessing distributed directory services. LDAP is often used to provide
|
||
access and authentication to networked services.
|
||
|
||
The current release is mostly compliant with RFCs 2251–2256, 2829–2830,
|
||
3377, and 3771. Our roadmap for Net::LDAP 1.0 is to gain full
|
||
<em>client</em> compliance with the most recent IETF LDAP RFCs
|
||
(4510–4519, plus portions of 4520–4532).
|
||
|
||
=== Notice of Impending License Change
|
||
|
||
In the next release of Net::LDAP (0.3), we will be changing the license
|
||
to an MIT-style license.

== Where
|
||
|

||
== Requirements
|
||
|
||
Net::LDAP requires Ruby 1.8.7-compliant interpreter or better.
|
||
|
||
== Install
|
||
|
||
Net::LDAP is a pure Ruby library. It does not require any external
|
||
compiled 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.
