JSPM – ldapauth-fork@2.5.4

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.

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
