<h2>Introduction</h2>
<p>
+LuaLDAP is a simple interface from Lua to an LDAP client
+(in fact it's a bind to
+<a href="http://www.openldap.org">OpenLDAP</a>
+client).
+</p>
+<p>
+LuaLDAP defines one single global variable, a table called
+<tt>lualdap</tt>
+which holds the function that creates a connection object.
+To initiate an LDAP session is required a hostname and a user
+identification.
+If desired Transport Layer Security (TLS) can be used throughout
+the connection.
+</p>
+<p>
+With a connection object any operation can be performed on the
+directory such as value comparation, addition of new entries,
+modification of attributes on existing entries, remotion and
+the most common of all: searches.
+Entries are represented as Lua tables; attributes are it's
+fields.
+Attribute's values can be strings or tables of strings when
+they have multiple values on the directory.
