OpenLDAP

this is Openldap binding in GO language. I don't work any more with golang, so, please fork this project.

Installation :

Installation is easy and very quick, as you can see :

# install openldap library and devel packages
sudo apt-get install libldap libldap2-dev  # debian/ubuntu.
sudo urpmi openldap-devel # fedora, RH, ...

# install go
go get github.com/mqu/openldap

# verify you've got it :
(cd $GOPATH ; go list ./...) | grep openldap

Usage

• Look a this exemple.
• a more complex example making LDAP search that mimics ldapsearch command, printing out result on console.

Doc:

• run go doc openldap,
• will come soon, complete documentation in this Wiki.
• look at _examples/*.go to see how to use this library.

Todo :

• thread-safe test,
• complete LDAP:GetOption() and LDAP:SetOption() method : now, they work only for integer values,
• avoid using deprecated function (see LDAP_DEPRECATED flag and "// DEPRECATED" comments in *.go sources),
• write some tests,
• verify memory leaks (Valgrind),
• support LDIF format (in, out),
• add support for external commands (ldapadd, ldapdelete)
• create an LDAP CLI (command line interface), like lftp, with commands like shell,
• a nice GUI with GTK,
• proxy, server,
• what else ?
