Overview
LuaLDAP is a simple interface from Lua to an LDAP client (in fact it is a bind to OpenLDAP). It enables a Lua program to:
- Connect to an LDAP server;
- Execute any operation (search, add, compare, delete, modify and rename);
- Retrieve entries and references of the search result.
LuaLDAP is free software and uses the same license as Lua 5.0.
Status
Current version is 1.0 beta. It was developed for Lua 5.0 and OpenLDAP 2.1.
Version 1.0 follows the package proposal for Lua 5.1 (see section Installation for more details).

History
- [?/?/2004] Version 1.0 beta released
- [10/dec/2003] Version 1.0 alpha released
Installation
LuaLDAP is a bind to the OpenLDAP library, therefore it depends on a previous installation of this library. You can download OpenLDAP from the OpenLDAP download page.
LuaLDAP follows the package proposal for Lua 5.1, therefore this package should be "installed". In other words, if you are using Lua 5.0, the files compat-5.1.c and compat-5.1.h must be used in the compalation and the file compat-5.1.lua must be installed in the LUA_PATH. If you are using Lua 5.1, nothing should be done.
