Thanks for the advice re: ruby-net-ldap guys. Didn’t come across that one when Googling but will have a look at it.

Cheers, Mark

I’ve been using ruby-net-ldap for a while now and have been very happy with it. The docs are pretty good and it’s super easy to get started. Definitely give it a try.

The one option you didn’t try out was using JRuby with JNDI, or JRuby with JRuby-LDAP (which is like JRuby-LDAP but uses a JNDI backend, meaning no compilation or installation needed).

There is also a pure Ruby LDAP library called ruby-net-ldap which works quite well.
