Show HN: Moribito – A TUI for LDAP Viewing/Queries

Check out my TUI I wrote for viewing and querying an LDAP. I need to do basic queries and validation daily for work, and as I work on a mac, there are really no good options. The major player is the Apache Directory Studio which is... not great. So I decided to create a new one.

As someone that spends an inordinate amount of time in LDAP for work, it warms my heart to see this project. Will definitely try it out!

Apache Directory Studio is extremely cumbersome / heavy so this is much appreciated.

That was what I immediately was thinking about. I wish I had had a tool like this when admining an LDAP server for a compute cluster. This would have made my life much easier, as opposed to using Apache Directory Studio through SSH tunnels.

I’m glad this tool exists.
