<h2><a name="over"></a>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> or to <a href="http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa772161.aspx">ADSI</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>

<p>LuaLDAP is free software and uses the same
<a href="license.html">license</a> as Lua 5.1.</p>

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

<p>Current version is 1.1. It was developed for both Lua 5.0 and Lua 5.1, and both
<a href="http://www.openldap.org">OpenLDAP</a> 2.1 or newer and <a href="http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa772161.aspx">ADSI</a>.</p>

<h2><a name="download"></a>Download</h2>

<p>LuaLDAP can be downloaded in source code from the
<a href="http://luaforge.net/projects/lualdap/files">LuaForge</a>
page. If you are using <a href="http://luabinaries.luaforge.net">LuaBinaries</a> a Windows binary
version of LuaLDAP can be found at the same LuaForge page.</p>
