ANN: ruby-ldapserver-0.1

What is it?
-----------

ruby-ldapserver is a lightweight, pure Ruby skeleton for implementing LDAP
server applications. It is intended primarily for when you wish to build a
gateway from LDAP queries into some other protocol or database; it does not
attempt to be a full implementation of the standard LDAP data model itself
(although you could build one using this as a frontend)

The Connection class handles incoming connections, decodes ASN1-formatted
LDAP requests, and creates an Operation object for each request. The
Operation object further parses the ASN1 request and invokes methods which
you override to perform useful work. Responses and exceptions are converted
back into ASN1 and returned to the client.

Since it's written entirely in Ruby, it benefits from Ruby's threading
engine.

Target audience
---------------

Technically-savvy Ruby applications developers; the sort of people who are
happy to read RFCs and read code to work out what it does :-)

The examples/ directory contains a couple of minimal LDAP servers which you
can use as a starting point.

Status
------

This is an initial alpha release for testing and feedback.
