LDAP js client

node >= 8.0

No ldapjs (https://www.npmjs.com/package/ldapjs) as dependency.

Why: because ldapjs is not maintained for more than two years.

Installation

npm install ldapjs-client

Usage

To create a new client:

var LdapClient = require('ldapjs-client');
var client = new LdapClient({ url: 'ldap://127.0.0.1:389' });

Attribute	Type	Description
url	String	A valid LDAP URL (proto/host/port only)
timeout	Number	Milliseconds client should let operations live for before timing out (Default: Infinity)
tlsOptions	Object	Additional options passed to TLS connection layer when connecting via ldaps:// (See: The TLS docs for node.js)

  };

  await client.add('cn=foo, o=example', entry);
