Employee directory
Lists the employees of a company in alphabetical order by making an ldap.search call. When a person is selected an ldap.getEntry request is sent to retrieve and display their details.
Resolving group membership
An important organisational feature of directories is the ability to specify groups for things like departments, permissions and mailing lists. This JavaScript application makes an ldap.search XHR, first to list the available groups, then to display their members.

User authentication
On corporate intranets the central authentication of users is commonly handled by an LDAP directory. Various authentication means are available, such as a username / password combination or a X.509 certificate. With the Json2Ldap ldap.simpleBind call a JavaScript app can now make authentication requests straight from the browser.
| User credentials | Authentication result | ||||||

✝Hint: All user passwords are set to secret |
✔ Valid username + password

The sample LDAP directory
The sample directory is of a company with a typical employee base and four groups. To examine the directory tree take a look at its graphical representation or the original LDIF data.
