LDAPjs

LDAPjs makes the LDAP protocol a first class citizen in Node.js.

Usage

For full docs, head on over to http://ldapjs.org.

var ldap = require('ldapjs');

var server = ldap.createServer();

server.search('dc=example', function(req, res, next) {
  var obj = {
    dn: req.dn.toString(),
    attributes: {
      objectclass: ['organization', 'top'],
      o: 'example'
    }
  };

  if (req.filter.matches(obj.attributes))
  res.send(obj);

  res.end();
});

server.listen(1389, function() {
  console.log('ldapjs listening at ' + server.url);
});

To run that, assuming you've got the OpenLDAP client on your system:

ldapsearch -H ldap://localhost:1389 -x -b dc=example objectclass=*

Installation

npm install ldapjs

Node.js Version Support

As of ldapjs@3 we only support the active Node.js LTS releases. See https://github.com/nodejs/release#release-schedule for the LTS release schedule.

For a definitive list of Node.js version we support, see the version matrix we test against in our CI configuration.

Note: given the release date of ldapjs@3, and the short window of time that Node.js v14 had remaining on its LTS window, we opted to not support Node.js v14 with ldapjs@3 (we released late February 2023 and v14 goes into maintenance in late April 2023). Also, Node.js v14 will be end-of-life (EOL) on September 11, 2023; this is a very shortened EOL timeline and makes it even more reasonable to not support it at this point.
