# LDAPjs

[![Build Status](https://github.com/ldapjs/node-ldapjs/workflows/Lint%20And%20Test/badge.svg)](https://github.com/ldapjs/node-ldapjs/actions)
[![Coverage Status](https://coveralls.io/repos/github/ldapjs/node-ldapjs/badge.svg)](https://coveralls.io/github/ldapjs/node-ldapjs/)

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

## Usage

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

```javascript
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](http://www.openldap.org/)
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][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][ci-config].

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.

# Project Decomissioned

This project has been decomissioned. I, James Sumners, took it on when it was
languishing without any maintenance as it filled a need in the ecosystem and
I had built things at a prior organization that depended upon this project.
I spent a lot of time triaging issues and reworking things toward a path
that could be more easily maintained by a community of volunteers. But I have
not had the time to dedicate to this project in quite a while. There are
outstanding issues that would take me at least a week of dedicated development
time to solve, and I cannot afford to take time off of work to do that.
Particularly considering that the aforementioned organization was two
jobs ago, and it is extremely unlikely that I will transition to a role again
that will need this project.

So, why am I just now deciding to decomission this project? Because today,
2024-05-14, I received the following email:

![Abusive email](dt.png)

I will not tolerate abuse, and I especially will not tolerate tacit death
threats, over a hobby. You can thank the author of that email for the
decomissioning on this project.

My recommendation to you in regard to LDAP operations: write a gateway in a
language that is more suited to these types of operations. I'd suggest
[Go](https://go.dev).

👋

P.S.: if I ever do need this project again, I might revive it. But I'd fight
hard for my suggestion above. Also, I will consider turning it over to an
interested party, but I will require at least one recommendation from a
Node.js core contributor that I can vet with the people that I know on that
team.
