 ruby-ldapserver is a lightweight, pure Ruby framework for implementing LDAP server applications. It is intended primarily for building a gateway from LDAP queries into some other protocol or database. It does not attempt to be a full or correct implementation of the standard LDAP data model itself (although you could build one using this as a frontend).
 
 Since it's written entirely in Ruby, it benefits from Ruby's threading engine.
