| Check out my TUI I wrote for viewing and querying an LDAP. I need to do basic queries and validation daily for work, and as I work on a mac, there are really no good options. The major player is the Apache Directory Studio which is... not great. So I decided to create a new one. |

| As someone that spends an inordinate amount of time in LDAP for work, it warms my heart to see this project. Will definitely try it out! |
| |
| ▲ | zephyreon 4 days ago | parent [-] | | Apache Directory Studio is extremely cumbersome / heavy so this is much appreciated. | | |
| ▲ | mbreese 4 days ago | parent | next [-] | | That was what I immediately was thinking about. I wish I had had a tool like this when admining an LDAP server for a compute cluster. This would have made my life much easier, as opposed to using Apache Directory Studio through SSH tunnels. I’m glad this tool exists. | |
| ▲ | woumn 4 days ago | parent | prev [-] | | I hate it so much. And it barely works with newer macs. |

| This is epic, especially as it is repository friendly. Thank you. |
| |
| ▲ | woumn 4 days ago | parent [-] | | You're very welcome! | | |
| ▲ | majkinetor 4 days ago | parent [-] | | Tested it now somewhat. Some points so far: 1. Installation script doesn't work on Windows. Exit 1 is particularly problematic as it kills the current shell 2. No search on current page vim style (/) or full page up/down J/K 3. On Query page j works but k somewhat scrambless the page in Windows terminal Not sure how seriously you want to support Windows, I could rise tickets on Github | | |
| ▲ | woumn 4 days ago | parent [-] | | I don't have a way to debug windows, so atm it's kind wysiwyg. #2 is a great idea. open a ticket if you'd like. |

| Is it possible to view/edit the "cn=config" tree of OpenLDAP to make configuration changes with this? I often do ldapvi -h ldapi:/// -Y EXTERNAL -b 'cn=config'
and another tool could be useful. |
| |
| ▲ | woumn 4 days ago | parent [-] | | It would be possible, but I don't have a good ldap server to test on, especially one I can modify config changes. If you'd like to contribute to the repo, adding a test ldap server that can be used for development would enable a lot more features. | | |

| As someone else who has to do a lot of work with LDAP, thank you! You might want to consider adding a LICENSE file to the repo. That's the first place I looked before noticing it at the bottom of the readme. |
| |
| ▲ | woumn 4 days ago | parent [-] | | I am thinking you opened an issue. Thank you! I added one. |

| Does this work with AD? |
| |
| ▲ | woumn 4 days ago | parent [-] | | Haven't tested, but i think it should. it's using Go's LDAP library in the background |

| Miss my days tinkering with LDAP. This looks great, thanks! |
| |
| ▲ | oaiey 4 days ago | parent [-] | | Me too. I also believe that LDAP and directory services are overlooked today |
