<h2>Overview</h2>

<p>LuaLDAP is a simple interface from Lua to an LDAP client (in
fact it is a bind to <a href=
"http://www.openldap.org">OpenLDAP</a>). It enables a Lua program
to:</p>

<ul>
<li>Connect to an LDAP server;</li>

<li>Execute any operation (search, add, compare, delete, modify and
rename);</li>

<li>Retrieve entries and references of the search result.</li>
</ul>

<br>
<br>
 

<p>LuaLDAP is free software and uses the same <a href=
"license.html">license</a> as Lua 5.0.</p>

<h2><a name="status"></a>Status</h2>

<p>Current version is 1.0 beta. It was developed for Lua 5.0 and
OpenLDAP 2.1.</p>

<p>Version 1.0 follows the <a href=
"http://www.keplerproject.org/compat">package proposal</a> for Lua
5.1 (see section <a href="#installation">Installation</a> for more
details).</p>

<h2>Download</h2>

LuaLDAP can be downloaded in source code from the following links: 

<blockquote><a href=
"lualdap-1.0b.tar.gz">lualdap-1.0b.tar.gz</a><br>
<a href="lualdap-1.0b.zip">lualdap-1.0b.zip</a></blockquote>

<p><a href="http://www.openldap.org">OpenLDAP</a> can be downloaded
from the <a href=
"http://www.openldap.org/software/download">OpenLDAP download
page</a>.</p>

<h2><a name="history"></a>History</h2>

<ul>
<li>[?/?/2004] Version 1.0 beta released</li>

<li>[10/dec/2003] Version 1.0 alpha released</li>
</ul>

<br>

 <a name="installation"></a> 

<h2>Installation</h2>

<p>LuaLDAP is a bind to the <a href=
"http://www.openldap.org">OpenLDAP</a> library, therefore it
depends on a previous installation of this library. You can
download OpenLDAP from the <a href=
"http://www.openldap.org/software/download">OpenLDAP download
page</a>.</p>

<p>LuaLDAP follows the <a href=
"http://www.keplerproject.org/compat">package proposal</a> for Lua
5.1, therefore this package should be "installed". In other words,
if you are using Lua 5.0, the files <tt>compat-5.1.c</tt> and
<tt>compat-5.1.h</tt> must be used in the compalation and the file
<tt>compat-5.1.lua</tt> must be installed in the <tt>LUA_PATH</tt>.
If you are using Lua 5.1, nothing should be done.</p>

<h2>Credits</h2>

<p>LuaLDAP was designed by Roberto Ierusalimschy, Andr&eacute;

<a href="http://www.keplerproject.org">Kepler Project</a>

It was implemented by Tom&aacute;s Guisasola.</p>

<p>LuaLDAP development was sponsored by <a href=
