Treequel Manual

This is a manual for Treequel, a Ruby library that is intended to make interacting with an LDAP directory natural and easy without trying to make it behave like a relational database. It's built on top of Ruby-LDAP, so if you don't already have that installed you'll need to install it (gem install ruby-ldap should work for modern versions of Ruby), and you'll need to have access to an LDAP server, of course.

  1. Connecting to a Directory

  2. Binding to a Directory

  3. Working With Branches

  4. Searching With Branchsets

  5. Branch Collections

  6. Models

  7. Schema Introspection

  8. Real-World Examples
