Simple LDAP Search

Searches LDAP. Nothing fancy.

A thin, promisified wrapper over LDAPjs's client.

$ npm install --save simple-ldap-search

Usage

import SimpleLDAP from 'simple-ldap-search';

const config = {
  url: 'ldap://0.0.0.0:1389',
  base: 'dc=users,dc=localhost',
  dn: 'cn=root',
  password: 'secret',
}

// create a new client
const ldap = new SimpleLDAP(config);

// setup a filter and attributes for your LDAP query
const filter = '(uid=artvandelay)';
const attributes = [
  'idNumber',
  'uid',
  'givenName',
  'sn',
  'telephoneNumber',
];

// using async/await
const users = await ldap.search(filter, attributes);

// [{
//   dn: 'uid=artvandelay, dc=users, dc=localhost',
//   idNumber: 1234567,
//   uid: 'artvandelay',
//   givenName: 'Art',
