Hi Mauro,

Whenever I've needed to work with ldap in ruby or rails, I've always just used ruby-net-ldap:

[https://github.com/roryo/ruby-net-ldap/](https://github.com/roryo/ruby-net-ldap/)

"...

Net::LDAP is a pure Ruby library. It does not require any external libraries. You can install the RubyGems version of Net::LDAP available from the usual sources.

\* gem install net-ldap

Simply require 'net/ldap'.
