ONS LDAP RubyGem
Thin wrapper around the net-ldap RubyGem. Contains a simple LDAPConnection class that can be used to authenticate against an LDAP directory.
Installation
gem install ons-ldap
Example
require 'ons-ldap'
host = 'localhost ' # LDAP server host
port = '636' # LDAP server port (LDAPS)
base = 'dc=example,dc=com' # LDAP tree base
# Hash of LDAP group names.
groups = { admins: 'admins', users: 'users' }
ldap_connection = LDAPConnection.new(host, port, base, groups, logger)
user_entry = ldap_connection.authenticate('johntopley', 'password')
user_entry.user_id #=> 'johntopley'
user_entry.display_name #=> 'John Topley'
user_entry.token # 2FA token, stored in LDAP's employeeNumber field for expediency
user_entry.groups #=> ['admins', 'users']Testing
rake test
