LDAP client library
A pure-Rust LDAP client library using the Tokio stack.
Interaction with Tokio versions
Tokio reached 1.0 rather soon after 0.3, but it's not a 1:1 replacement. Furthermore,
the bump of the bytes
crate to 1.0 made it necessary to increase the lber
version
number. For that reason, ldap3
will also go one version up, to 0.9. Things should
be quieter from now on because of Tokio's 1.0 compatibility promise, though.
All functional changes in 0.9.1 have been backported to 0.8.3 (Tokio 0.3) and 0.7.4 (Tokio 0.2). The plan is to limit further 0.8.x and 0.7.x changes to bug- and compatibility fixes for the next six months, and continue development solely on 0.9.x.
Documentation
Note
The library is client-only. One cannot make an LDAP server or a proxy with it. It supports only version 3 of the protocol over connection-oriented transports.
Usage
The library can be used either synchronously or asynchronously. The aim is to offer essentially the same call interface for both flavors, with the necessary differences in interaction and return values according to the nature of I/O.
Add this to your Cargo.toml
:
[]
= "0.9"
Examples
The following two examples perform exactly the same operation and should produce identical
results. They should be run against the example server in the data
subdirectory of the crate source.
Other sample programs expecting the same server setup can be found in the examples
subdirectory.
Synchronous search
use ;
use Result;
Asynchronous search
use ;
use Result;

Compile-time features
The following features are available at compile time:
-
sync (enabled by default): Synchronous API support.
-
tls (enabled by default): TLS support, backed by the
native-tls
crate, which uses a platform-specific TLS backend. This is an alias for tls-native. -
tls-rustls (disabled by default): TLS support, backed by the Rustls library.
Without any features, only plain TCP connections (and Unix domain sockets on Unix-like platforms) are available. For TLS support, tls and tls-rustls are mutually exclusive: choosing both will produce a compile-time error.
