API Documentation

for full API documentation look at API Website.

functionalities:

async queryAttributes()

/** get displayName of all users */
const users = await client.queryAttributes({
  attributes: ["displayName"],
  options: {
    filter:
      "(&(|(objectClass=user)(objectClass=person))(!(objectClass=computer))(!(objectClass=group)))",
    scope: "sub",
    paged: true,
  },
});

// always unbind after finish the operation to prevent memory leak
client.unbind();

Advance Uses:

async query() (raw search to provided full flexibility)

/** get displayName and distinguished name  of empty groups */
const groups = await client.query({
  attributes: ["displayName", "dn"],
  options: {
    filter: "(&(objectClass=group)(!(member=*)))",
    scope: "sub",
    paged: true,
  },
});

// always unbind after finish the operation to prevent memory leak
client.unbind();

async bind() to access underlying api. returns a connected ldap.js client.

NOTICE: lpad.js is using node EventEmitters not ES6 Promises

client.bind().then((client) => {
  client.search(this.config.baseDN, opts, (err, res) => {
    if (err) {
      reject(err);
    }
    res.on("searchEntry", (entry) => {});
    res.on("error", (err) => {});
    res.on("end", function (result) {
      client.unbind();
    });
  });
});
