= 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 * RubyForge: net-ldap[http://rubyforge.org/projects/net-ldap] * GitHub: RoryO/ruby-net-ldap[http://github.com/RoryO/ruby-net-ldap/] * Group: ruby-ldap[http://groups.google.com/group/ruby-ldap] * Documentation: net-ldap[http://net-ldap.rubyforge.org/] == 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. == Credits Net::LDAP was originally developed by: * Francis Cianfrocca blackhedd@rubyforge.org Contributions since: * Emiel van de Laar emiel@rubyforge.org * Rory O'Connell roryo@rubyforge.org * Kaspar Schiess eule@rubyforge.org * Austin Ziegler austin@rubyforge.org * Dimitrij Denissenko dimdenis@rubyforge.org * "nowhereman" on GitHub == License Copyright (C) 2006 - 2010 by Francis Cianfrocca and other contributors.
