I have a project I’m working on that needs to authenticate it’s users using an LDAP request. This project is a webapp with an Express and Node.js backend.

I’m new to LDAP but I recently found out one of the biggest packages, LDAP.js has been depricated for some time. For this project, I’m not allowed to use depricated packages, and actually I’m supposed to use as little packages as possible (contrary to the point of using Node, I know).

Because there is no LDAP package that meets my needs, I’ve decided to go ahead and try writing something from scratch that will handle authentication.
I tried using the HTTP and HTTPS packages to send a request but neither of those worked (for obvious reasons).

Does anyone have any ideas on what I could try to do?
