= 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 (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 LDAP RFCs (4510–4519, plus portions of 4520–4532).

== 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.
