Introduction to LDAPPER
LDAPPER is a lightweight and straightforward implementation of an LDAP server powered by a Postgres database. If you're looking for an uncomplicated alternative to complex solutions like OpenLDAP or ActiveDirectory, LDAPPER is designed to meet your needs for a simple accounts database accessible by various services.

Key Features

• Simplicity: Designed for ease of use, LDAPPER offers a hassle-free setup and operation.
• Postgres Backend: Leveraging a robust Postgres database, LDAPPER ensures reliable data storage and quick access.
• User Management: Effortlessly manage user accounts with intuitive commands.

Getting Started with LDAPPER
To compile LDAPPER, simply execute:

sbcl --eval (asdf:make :ldapper)  

Alternatively, you can download a pre-compiled binary from the releases.

Before proceeding, familiarize yourself with the supported options and parameters by running:

ldapper help  

To set up the systemd service and get everything running smoothly, execute the following command with your database parameters:

LDAPPER_POSTGRES_PW=... ldapper install  

Once you run this command, your LDAP server will be operational!

Adding User Accounts
Add new user accounts using the command:

ldapper add MyAccount whatever@example.com  

For bulk user imports, LDAPPER supports importing from an LDIF file or an existing OpenLDAP database with commands like:

ldapper import accounts.ldif  
ldapper import <(slapcat -b "dc=example,dc=com")  

(Be sure to use the --dry-run flag for safety.)

Docker Support
For Docker enthusiasts, building and running LDAPPER is straightforward:

docker build -t ldapper .  
docker run --rm -it -v "$PWD:/app" ldapper  

This will compile the LDAPPER binary directly in your current directory.

Whether you're developing new applications or looking for a simple accounts management solution, LDAPPER delivers a seamless experience. Explore the documentation for further details and unlock the full potential of your LDAP server!
