sample of using eldap from elixir

eldap.exs

:application.ensure_all_started(:ssl)

{:ok, handle} = :eldap.open(['ldap.example.com'], [{:port, 636}, {:ssl, true}])

authenticated = 
  :ok == :eldap.simple_bind(handle, 
    'uid=jeff,ou=users,dc=example,dc=com', 
    'notmyrealpassword')

{:ok, {:eldap_search_result, list_of_entries, _}} = 
  :eldap.search(handle, [
    {:base, 'ou=users,dc=example,dc=com'}, 
    {:filter, :eldap.equalityMatch('sn', 'Weiss')}
  ])

:eldap.close(handle)

Thanks, this gist was very helpful to me

Thanks, this was helpful to me also. FYI, if you're using Active Directory you need to swap 'uid' with 'cn' (at least that's how ours is set up).
