The Risks of Misguided Research in Supply Chain Security
Snyk's use of malicious npm packages for research raises ethical concerns, highlighting risks in public deployment, data exfiltration, and unauthorized testing.
github.com/c0sco/go-ldap-client
Simple ldap client to authenticate, retrieve basic information and groups for a user.
See example. The only external dependency is gopkg.in/ldap.v2.
package main
import (
"log"
"github.com/jtblin/go-ldap-client"
)
func main() {
client := &ldap.LDAPClient{
Base: "dc=example,dc=com",
Host: "ldap.example.com",
Port: 389,
UseSSL: false,
BindDN: "uid=readonlysuer,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com",
BindPassword: "readonlypassword",
UserFilter: "(uid=%s)",
GroupFilter: "(memberUid=%s)",
Attributes: []string{"givenName", "sn", "mail", "uid"},
}
// It is the responsibility of the caller to close the connection
defer client.Close()
ok, user, err := client.Authenticate("username", "password")
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("Error authenticating user %s: %+v", "username", err)
}
if !ok {
log.Fatalf("Authenticating failed for user %s", "username")
}
log.Printf("User: %+v", user)
groups, err := client.GetGroupsOfUser("username")
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("Error getting groups for user %s: %+v", "username", err)
}
log.Printf("Groups: %+v", groups)
}
If you use SSL, you will need to pass the server name for certificate verification
or skip domain name verification e.g.client.ServerName = "ldap.example.com"
.
There are already tons of ldap libraries for golang
but most of them
are just forks of another one, most of them are too low level or too limited (e.g. do not return errors
which make it hard to troubleshoot issues).
