LDAP Server on Heroku?

Is it possible to run the LDAP protocol over HTTP or HTTPS?

If so, d开发者_如何学JAVAoes anybody know of a Ruby LDAP server which can be made to run on Heroku.com?

No, it is not possible to run LDAP over HTTP(S). LDAP is a binary protocol in its own right, described in ASN.1 and transmitted in BER. However, DSML provides some functionality that may interest you. DSML represents directory services information using XML.

Yes, certainly it is possible, I have one where LDAP entities are sent as JSON objects. Let me know if you are interested in taking a look at it. But this is in Java not Ruby but might throw some light..
