Node.js LDAP Authentication Fork

ldapauth-fork is a Node.js library for authenticating users against an LDAP server. It's a maintained fork of the original `node-ldapauth` package, primarily created to integrate newer versions of `ldapjs`, enable `tlsOptions` support, and address various community-reported issues. The package provides a robust API for user authentication, including support for group membership checks and configurable search filters. It ships with TypeScript type definitions since v4.0.0 and utilizes Bunyan for logging, aligning with `ldapjs`'s logging approach. The current stable version is 6.1.0, with a release cadence that addresses bug fixes, dependency updates, and new features, indicating active maintenance. Key differentiators include its explicit support for modern `ldapjs` versions, comprehensive configuration options for diverse LDAP setups, and improved error handling through `EventEmitter` inheritance.
