I did a lot of work with LDAP half a year ago, and the concept of ldap.js was the first thing that sprung to mind as a way to make the whole experience more developer-friendly. Only I was too lazy too actually go ahead and build it... kudos to Mark Cavage for pulling this off :-)

There's just something very wrong about having to use 90s database technology solely because people like (or are stuck with) the associated protocol.

For everything from applicant tracking systems to databases, I often think "at least it isn't an Oracle product." Seems like some other company could use this given enough of us already think it.

I know this will be down-voted for being a Reddit-esque comment, but it was worth it.

For those interested, node-ldapauth covers a very small, specific set of use cases. I had to heavily modify it to work with my LDAP server. ldap.js looks much nicer and I wish it existed 6 months ago.
