JSPM – ldapauth-fork@2.3.3

Package Exports

ldapauth-fork
ldapauth-fork/lib/cache

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (ldapauth-fork) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

Fork of node-ldapauth - A simple node.js lib to authenticate against an LDAP server.

Node v0.12 / `dtrace-provider` issue

Currently the latest released version of ldapjs which this module depends on does not install succesfully on Node v0.12 on Mac (see issue #258) due to old dtrace-provider dependency. To work around the issue, add dependency to ldapjs master to your package.json:

{
  "dependencies": {
    "ldapjs": "mcavage/node-ldapjs",
    "ldapauth-fork": "2.3.1"
  }
}

About the fork

This fork was originally created and published because of an urgent need to get newer version of ldapjs in use to passport-ldapauth since the newer version supported passing tlsOptions to the TLS module. Since then a lot of issues from the original module (#2, #3, #8, #10, #11, #12, #13) have been fixed, and new features have been added as well.

Multiple ldapjs client options have been made available.

Usage

var LdapAuth = require('ldapauth-fork');
var options = {
    url: 'ldaps://ldap.example.com:636',
    ...
};
var auth = new LdapAuth(options);
...
auth.authenticate(username, password, function(err, user) { ... });
...
auth.close(function(err) { ... })

Install

npm install ldapauth-fork
