# kth-node-ldap

Convenience library on top of the [ldapts](https://www.npmjs.com/package/ldapts) client.

## Code Example LDAPTS

How to create client connection object and re-export relevant methods. In this example the file is named ldapImportClient.js

```javascript
const { createClient, search, searchOne } = require('kth-node-ldap')
const config = require('../configuration').server
const log = require('@kth/log')

// ldap client is used to find users and need to be exposed
const ldapClient = createClient({
url: config.ldap.uri,
timeout: 30 * 60 * 1000,
connectTimeout: config.ldap.connecttimeout,
bindDN: config.ldap.username,
bindCredentials: config.ldap.password,
})
module.exports = {
ldapClient,
ldapSearch: search,
ldapSearchOne: searchOne,
}
```

Using the client above, perform the search

```javascript
const { ldapClient, ldapSearch, ldapSearchOne } = require('./ldapImportClient')

// Get all users changed since 2020-03-01
try {
const base = 'DC=ldap,DC=example,DC=com'
const since = '20200301000000.0Z'
const query = {
scope: 'sub',
attributes: ['givenName', 'familyName', 'updatedOn'],
filter: `(&(whenChanged>=${since}))`,
}

const usersArray = await ldapSearch(ldapClient, base, query)
for (const user of usersArray) {
// Do what you have to do..
}
} catch (err) {
log.error('Could not query LDAP ', { err: e })
}

// Find a single user
try {
const base = 'DC=ldap,DC=example,DC=com'
const username = 'paddy'
const query = {
scope: 'sub',
attributes: ['givenName', 'familyName', 'updatedOn'],
filter: '(&(ugUsername=${username}))',
}

const user = await ldapSearchOne(ldapClient, base, query)

// Do what you have to do..
} catch (err) {
log.error('Could not query LDAP ', { err: e })
}
```
