node-red-contrib-better-ldap-servicely 0.1.7
A better node for LDAP communication.
Better LDAP includes nodes which implement the ldapjs api. Some nodes have been simplified to help ease of use. Time has been taken to make sure that the only dependency is ldapjs. This does make the code a bit more complex but I feel it enables a better cleaner project.
This is the servicely version for our node-RED integrations.
Install
Run the following command in the root directory of your Node-RED install
npm install node-red-contrib-better-ldap-servicely
Or add via Manage Palette
Nodes
Update Node
Update node is used to update an attribute on an LDAP object by DN
Operation, DN, Attribute, and Value can be accessed via
msg.operation
, msg.dn
, msg.attribute
, msg.payload
respectively.
Node sets msg.ldapStatus
with the result of operation.
Search Node
Search node is used to run a search query against a LDAP server. You must use a standard LDAP filter query. More information on ldap queries can be found here
Properties

the base LDAP object to start your search
Scope
Scope can be either base
, one
, or sub
- base - Only search the base dn. no further sub directories
- one - Search only one directory down from the base dn
- sub - Search all directories and sub directories

attributes
Attributes to be returned for each object. A comma separated list of attributes to change.
Default attributes are defined. They are targeted toward user queries.

, userAccountControl
,
employeeID
, sn
, givenName
, initials
, cn
, displayName
,
comment

, company
If you wanted to search for all objects where firstName
starts with te
you
would use the filter (firstName=te*)
where te
is the search term and *
is a wild card.
Configuration
Host, port, username, and password are required to configure a new LDAP client. Noting special is required at for ldap connection. At this time a TLS connection is not available. If I get enough requests and someone willing ot test it I am more than happy to add the feature.
