LDAPjs makes the LDAP protocol a first class citizen in Node.js.
This fork adds an socket API to the client: a way to customize the creation of the connection to the LDAP server. Under most circumstances, it's sufficient to pass a URL to ldapjs an allow ldapjs to create the TCP/TLS connection based on the URL. At Clever, we have a use case involving an explicit proxy, where we expect a client to connect to the proxy using HTTP CONNECT and then use the resulting TCP connection as the basis for LDAP. To facilitate this, we've added the createConnection option to the client constructor. An example usage can be found in the client documentation.

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=*
npm install ldapjs
DTrace support is included in ldapjs. To enable it, npm install dtrace-provider.
