Basic LDAP client for Go

LDAP is complicated. Many times, all you really need to do is authenticate users with it. This package boils down LDAP functionality to User Authentication, that's it.

go get github.com/nerney/dappy

Example:

package main

import (
	"log"

	"github.com/nerney/dappy"
)

func main() {
	var client dappy.Client
	var err error

	// create a new client
	if client, err = dappy.New(dappy.Config{
		BaseDN: "dc=example,dc=com",
		Filter: "uid",
		ROUser: dappy.User{Name: "cn=read-only-admin,dc=example,dc=com", Pass: "password"},
		Host:   "ldap.forumsys.com:389",
	}); err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	// username and password to authenticate
	username := "tesla"
	password := "password"

	// attempt the authentication
	if err := client.Auth(username, password); err != nil {
		panic(err)
	} else {
		log.Println("Success!")
	}
}
