Meteor.js and LDAP

Question

Any chance that LDAP authentication will be integrated into Meteor.js in the near future?

Any hints on how to get this to work today?

Answer 1

Whenever working with meteor, I would suggest looking at resources that are available for node.js, when and if something isn't in the meteor docs, and there isn't already a relevant discussion here.

The reason this seems like a good start would be that meteor runs inside a node.js server instance inside a fiber. At the very least existing node.js modules may help you understand where to go next.

By performing a cursory google search for nodejs ldap, I had discovered a couple of very useful resources:

Finally, you will likely need the answer to this question to get you on your way: it possible use a nodejs package inside meteor app?
