LDAPEx

This is a fairly direct port of the Erlang :eldap module to Elixir, but using pure strings/binaries instead of char_lists like :eldap does. Will add additional features and modules over time.

Installation

Available in Hex, the package can be installed by:

1. Add :ldap_ex to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:

   def deps do
   [{:ldap_ex, "~> 0.2.2"}]
   end

  2. If you want defaults (highly recommended) for any unspecified value, add
     something like this to your configuration:

     ```elixir
     config :ldap_ex, :defaults, %{
         server: System.get_env("LDAP_SERVER"),
         port: elem(Integer.parse(System.get_env("LDAP_PORT")), 0),
         ssl: System.get_env("LDAP_SSL") == "true",
         username: System.get_env("LDAP_USERNAME"),
         password: System.get_env("LDAP_PASSWORD"),
         timeout: 5000
       }

See the API Reference for usage. For using the client see the Client API Reference.

Features

Thus far this is good for reading from LDAP, it has no writing functionality as of yet, though it should be fairly simple to add now that the complex handling is complete. Pull Requests are welcome and encouraged.

As of right now it is mostly feature-complete for what I am needing, however I may add a DSEL, perhaps ecto-like for the complex search request record. May eventually add a LDAPEx.Ecto adapter for integration with ecto2. Of course if anyone wants to add any of these wanted features or anything else useful then please submit Pull Requests.
