Overview

Before using this adapter, try the :ldap_conn adapter. The notes below were originally thought to apply to all Active Directory servers, but now I suspect they are peculiarities of a former employer’s setup. This adapter is a candidate for removal.

ActiveDirectoryAdapter is a LDAPConnAdapter with some Active Directory specific behaviors. To help mitigate server timeout issues, this adapter binds on each request and unbinds afterwards. For search requests, the adapter connects to the global catalog on port 3268 instead of the usual port 389. The global catalog is read-only but is a bit more flexible when it comes to searching.

Active Directory servers can also be connected to with the Net::LDAP adapter.
