• Run node server.js

Request it

Authenticate (if needed by your LDAP policies)

• curl 'http://127.0.0.1:3000/v1' --data-urlencode 'dn=cn=admin,dc=exemple,dc=com' --data-urlencode 'credential=MyPassword' It will return a token

Browse your LDAP

• Without auth: curl http://localhost:3000/v1/dc=exemple,dc=com
• With auth: curl http://localhost:3000/v1/dc=exemple,dc=com?auth=<your_token> (auth param may be passed as cookie instead as GET param)
• Change scope (base by default): curl http://localhost:3000/v1/dc=exemple,dc=com/sub
• Select only some attributes: curl http://localhost:3000/v1/dc=exemple,dc=com/cn,mail
• Filter: - curl http://localhost:3000/v1/dc=exemple,dc=com/cn=jo* - curl http://localhost:3000/v1/dc=exemple,dc=com/(|(cn=jo*)(cn=ba*))
• Combine scope, filter and attributes: curl http://localhost:3000/v1/dc=exemple,dc=com/sub/cn,mail/(|(cn=jo*)(cn=ba*))
