Ruby wrapper for the MIT LDAP server. Can only be used if on the MIT campus network. Leverages tpope's wonderful Ldaptic
gem 'mit-ldap'
require 'mit-ldap'
MIT::LDAP.connect! # => true
MIT::LDAP.search(:filter => '(uid=mrhalp)') # => any Ldaptic options/methods
# if the connection fails or expires
MIT::LDAP.connected? # => false
MIT::LDAP.connect! # => true (re-establishes connection)Stubbing out the LDAP server in development can be difficult as it requires
setting up a private LDAP server or continuously being on campus for
development. This library maintains the expected interface (logger, search)
that can be faked in the event where the connection cannot be made or has
failed and cannot be made again.
