A simple async nodejs library for LDAP user authentication

const { authenticate } = require('../index')

async function auth() {
  // auth with admin
  let options = {
    ldapOpts: {

    userPassword: 'password',
    userSearchBase: 'dc=example,dc=com',
    usernameAttribute: 'uid',
    username: 'gauss',
    // starttls: false
  }

  let user = await authenticate(options)
  console.log(`user = ${JSON.stringify(user, null, 2)}`)

  // auth with regular user
