## About LDAPPER
This is a //very// simple implementation of an LDAP server, backed by a Postgres database. If you're fed up with the complicated mess that is OpenLDAP or ActiveDirectory, and just need a simple accounts database that can be accessed from other services, this is for you!

## How To
Compile a binary for ldapper with ``sbcl --eval (asdf:make :ldapper)``, or download one from the "releases"(https://github.com/Shinmera/ldapper/releases/latest).

Before you do anything else, please read the help documentation with the supported options and parameters thoroughly:

::
ldapper help
::

To install the necessary systemd service and get everything set up, simply run install, passing along the database parameters:

::
LDAPPER_POSTGRES_PW=... ldapper install
::

And that's it. Your LDAP server is up and running! To add new user accounts, you can invoke ldapper from any other place that has access to the Postgres database:

::
ldapper add MyAccount [email protected]
::

You can also mass import accounts from an ldif file or the current OpenLDAP database:

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

(note the ``--dry-run`` flag for that)

And that's pretty much it. For more information, see the help as described above.

## Docker build instructions

::
docker build -t ldapper .

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

This will build the `ldapper` binary in the current directory.
