openldap

Rust bindings for the native OpenLDAP library with a few convenient abstractions for connecting, binding, configuring, and querying your LDAP server.

usage

Using openldap is as easy as the following.

```rust extern crate openldap;

use openldap::; use openldap::errors::;

fn someldapfunction(ldapuri: &str, ldapuser: &str, ldap_pass: &str) -> Result<(), LDAPError> {

let ldap = try!(RustLDAP::new(ldap_uri));

ldap.set_option(codes::options::LDAP_OPT_PROTOCOL_VERSION,
                &codes::versions::LDAP_VERSION3);

ldap.set_option(codes::options::LDAP_OPT_X_TLS_REQUIRE_CERT,
                &codes::options::LDAP_OPT_X_TLS_DEMAND);

try!(ldap.simple_bind(ldap_user, ldap_pass));

// Returns a LDAPResponse, a.k.a. Vec<HashMap<String,Vec<String>>>.
let _ = ldap.simple_search("CN=Stephen,OU=People,DC=Earth",
                   codes::scopes::LDAP_SCOPE_BASE)
    .unwrap();

Ok(())

}

fn main() { let ldapuri = "ldaps://localhost:636"; let ldapuser = "user"; let ldappass = "pass"; someldapfunction(ldapuri, ldapuser, ldappass).unwrap(); } ```

When performing an operation that can fail, use the try! macro. On failure, an openldap::errors::LDAPError will be returned that includes a detailed message from the native OpenLDAP library.

developers

I'm happy to accept contributions. If you have work you want to be merged back into master, send me a pull request and I will be happy to look at it. I prefer changes which don't break the API, of course, but I'm willing to consider breaking changes.
