# Exldap

A module for working with LDAP from Elixir

## Installation

The package can be installed as:

1. Add exldap to your list of dependencies in `mix.exs`:
```elixir
def deps do
[{:exldap, "~> 0.6"}]
end
```
2. Ensure exldap is started before your application:
```elixir
def application do
[applications: [:exldap]]
end
```
3. Optionally add 'config\config.secret.exs' file with:
```elixir
use Mix.Config

config :exldap, :settings,
server: ,
base: "DC=example,DC=com",
port: 636,
ssl: true,
user_dn: ,
password: ,
search_timeout: 1000 # optionally set a search timeout in milliseconds, default is infinity
```
### Usage with configuration set in config.exs

```elixir
# the default_timeout is infinity

{:ok, connection} = Exldap.connect(TIMEOUT \\ default_timeout) # optionally set the maximum time in milliseconds that each server request may take

{:ok, search_results} = Exldap.search_field(connection, "cn", "test123")

{:ok, first_result} = search_results |> Enum.fetch(0)

result = Exldap.search_attributes(first_result, "displayName")

```

### Usage without configuration

```elixir
# the default_timeout is infinity

{:ok, connection} = Exldap.connect("SERVERADDRESS", 636, true, "CN=test123,OU=Accounts,DC=example,DC=com", "PASSWORD", TIMEOUT \\ default_timeout)

{:ok, search_results} = Exldap.search_field(connection, "OU=Accounts,DC=example,DC=com", "cn", "useraccount")

{:ok, first_result} = search_results |> Enum.fetch(0)

result = Exldap.search_attributes(first_result, "displayName")

```

### Verify credentials with configuration set in config.exs

```elixir
# the default_timeout is infinity

{:ok, connection} = Exldap.open(TIMEOUT \\ default_timeout) # optionally set the maximum time in milliseconds that each server request may take

case Exldap.verify_credentials(connection, "CN=test123,OU=Accounts,DC=example,DC=com", "PASSWORD") do
:ok -> IO.puts "Successfully connected"
_ -> IO.puts "Failed to connect"
end

```

### Verify credentials without configuration

```elixir

# the default_timeout is infinity

{:ok, connection} = Exldap.open("SERVERADDRESS", 636, true, TIMEOUT \\ default_timeout)

case Exldap.verify_credentials(connection, "CN=test123,OU=Accounts,DC=example,DC=com", "PASSWORD") do
:ok -> IO.puts "Successfully connected"
_ -> IO.puts "Failed to connect"
end

```

### Use SSL, validating certificates, from configuration

```elixir
use Mix.Config

config :exldap, :settings,
server: ,
base: "DC=example,DC=com",
port: 636,
ssl: true,
sslopts: [cacertfile: 'path/to/ca.pem', verify: verify_peer]
user_dn: ,
password: ,
search_timeout: 1000
```

### Use SSL, validating certificates, from configuration

```elixir
sslopts=[cacertfile: 'path/to/ca.pem', verify: verify_peer]
{:ok, connection} = Exldap.connect("SERVERADDRESS", 636, true, "CN=test123,OU=Accounts,DC=example,DC=com", "PASSWORD", timeout, sslopts)
...

```
