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). + += More Information = + +For more information, please consult the README.md file under prosody-modules/mod_lib_ldap. \ No newline at end of file
