arldap

This is an implementation of an LDAP server which uses active record as the data source. The server is read-only, and can serve information from any AR model that implements the #search(string) class method and the #to_ldap_entry instance method.

To test, point your addressbook (ie: Outlook, Thunderbird or OS X Address Book) at the server and run a search.

Example AR class:

class Person < ActiveRecord::Base

def fullname
  "#{firstname} #{lastname}"
end

def to_ldap_entry
{	
  "objectclass"     => ["top", "person", "organizationalPerson", "inetOrgPerson", "mozillaOrgPerson"],
  "uid"             => ["tbotter-#{id}"],
  "sn"              => [lastname],
  "givenName"       => [firstname],
  "cn"              => [fullname],
  "title"           => [title],
  "o"               => [company], 
  "mail"            => [email],
  "telephonenumber" => [work_phone], 
  "homephone"       => [home_phone],
  "fax"             => [fax],
  "mobile"          => [mobile],
  "street"          => [address],
  "l"               => [city],
  "st"              => [state], 
  "postalcode"      => [zip], 
}
end

def self.search(query)
  Person.find(:all, 
              :conditions => ["(email LIKE ?) OR (firstname LIKE ?) OR (lastname LIKE ?)", 
                              "#{query}%", "#{query}%", "#{query}%"])
end

end
