A module for working with LDAP from Elixir
The package can be installed as:
- Add exldap to your list of dependencies in
mix.exs:
def deps do
[{:exldap, "~> 0.4"}]
end- Ensure exldap is started before your application:
def application do
[applications: [:exldap]]
end- Optionally add 'config\config.secret.exs' file with:
use Mix.Config
config :exldap, :settings,
server: <server address>,
base: "DC=example,DC=com",
port: 636,
ssl: true,
user_dn: <user distinguished name>,
password: <password>,
search_timeout: 1000 # optionally set a search timeout in milliseconds, default is infinity# the default_timeout is infinity
{:ok, connection} = Exldap.connect(TIMEOUT \\ default_timeout) # optionally set the maximum time in milliseconds that each server request may take
{:ok, search_results} = Exldap.search_field(connection, "cn", "test123")
{:ok, first_result} = search_results |> Enum.fetch(0)
result = Exldap.search_attributes(first_result, "displayName")
# the default_timeout is infinity
{:ok, connection} = Exldap.connect("SERVERADDRESS", 636, true, "CN=test123,OU=Accounts,DC=example,DC=com", "PASSWORD", TIMEOUT \\ default_timeout)
{:ok, search_results} = Exldap.search_field(connection, "OU=Accounts,DC=example,DC=com", "cn", "useraccount")
{:ok, first_result} = search_results |> Enum.fetch(0)
result = Exldap.search_attributes(first_result, "displayName")# the default_timeout is infinity
{:ok, connection} = Exldap.open(TIMEOUT \\ default_timeout) # optionally set the maximum time in milliseconds that each server request may take
case Exldap.verify_credentials(connection, "CN=test123,OU=Accounts,DC=example,DC=com", "PASSWORD") do
:ok -> IO.puts "Successfully connected"
_ -> IO.puts "Failed to connect"
end# the default_timeout is infinity
{:ok, connection} = Exldap.open("SERVERADDRESS", 636, true, TIMEOUT \\ default_timeout)
case Exldap.verify_credentials(connection, "CN=test123,OU=Accounts,DC=example,DC=com", "PASSWORD") do
:ok -> IO.puts "Successfully connected"
_ -> IO.puts "Failed to connect"
end
