+#summary Library module for LDAP
+
+= Introduction =
+
+This module is used by other modules to access an LDAP server.  It's pretty useless on its own; you should use it if you want to write your own LDAP-related module, or if you want to use one of mine ([mod_auth_ldap2], [mod_storage_ldap]).
+
+= Installation =
+
+Simply copy ldap.lib.lua into your Prosody installation's plugins directory.
+
+= Configuration =
+
+Configuration for this module (and all modules that use it) goes into the _ldap_ section of your prosody.cfg.lua file.  Each plugin that uses it may add their own sections; this plugin relies on the following keys:
+
+  * hostname - Where your LDAP server is located
+  * bind_dn  - The DN to perform queries as
+  * bind_password - The password to use for queries
+  * use_tls - Whether or not TLS should be used to connect to the LDAP server
+  * user.usernamefield - The LDAP field that contains a user's username
+  * user.basedn - The base DN for user records
+
+= API =
+
+== ldap.getconnection() ==
+
+Returns an LDAP connection object corresponding to the configuration in prosody.cfg.lua.  The connection object is a [http://www.keplerproject.org/lualdap/ LuaLDAP] connection.
+
+== ldap.getparams() ==
+
+Returns the LDAP configuration provided in prosody.cfg.lua.  Use this if you want to stick some configuration information for your module into the LDAP section in the configuration file.
+
+== ldap.bind(username, password) ==
+
+Verifies that _username_ and _password_ bind ok.  *NOTE*: This does not bind the current LDAP connection to the given username!
+
+== ldap.singlematch(query) ==
+
+Used to fetch a single LDAP record given an LDAP query.  A convenience function.
+
+== ldap.filter.combine_and(...) ==
+
+Takes a list of LDAP filter expressions and returns a filter expression that results in the intersection of each given expression (it ANDs them together).
