ActiveDirectoryForRuby
Hi, I just released a new tiny-weenie-itty-bitty little gem that allows for easy access to ActiveDirectory data and authentication, provides just two functions: authenticate and [] operator.
From the gem rdoc site:
How To Install
You can either:
Install the gem directly with:
$ sudo gem install ActiveDirectoryForRuby
OR download and install the gem file from:
$ wget http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/28898/ActiveDirectoryForRuby-0.1.8.gem
$ sudo gem install ActiveDirectoryForRuby-0.1.8.gem
How To Use
Just create an ActiveDirectoryForRuby object, and pass
your YAML configuration file as follows:
myconn = ActiveDirectoryForRuby::ActiveDirectoryForRuby.new('myconfig.yml')
Then, you can authenticate a user like this:
myconn.authenticate('user.name', 'somepass') # returns true/false
And get a user's data with:
myconn['user.name'].ldap_givenname # returns 'User'
As my other works, this is released under the LGPL license.
Where?
You can find the gem here:

Thanks for reading!
