Json2Ldap is for simple web integration of directory data.

Web-friendly directory access

Json2Ldap can turn one or more LDAP v3 compatible directories into a web service with a simple JSON-RPC interface.

Now that you're no longer constrained to the binary LDAP protocol, directory requests can be initiated directly from web clients, such as from JavaScript apps running in the browser. The benefits: unified directory access for all your web clients, simplified development and maintenance of web apps which utilise identity data.

Deployed once within your organisation, Json2Ldap can act as a hub serving directory data and search to web applications within your IT ecosystem - portals, email and chat programs, wikis, CRM and ERP applications.

Provisioning and access to identity data in Cloud / SaaS environments

Json2Ldap can be successfully employed by a SaaS operation.

• User provisioning
  The SaaS provider can grant corporate subscribers access to the Json2Ldap web service and its API to enable them to create / upload users in bulk and then to make sure the user profiles remain up-to-date by pushing changes across from the corporate directories. The SaaS provider may also issue subscribers with complementary sync agents to automate this job.
• Internal access to identity data
  The actual SaaS can also make internal use of Json2Ldap for easy JSON/HTTP access to user identity, profile and group data from within the application.
• High-availability and load balancing
  Together with LDAP directories that support multi-master replication, such as Forgerock OpenDJ, Json2Ldap can be deployed in a high-availability configuration to spread load and provide redundant acccess to directory data.

Spice up your mashups with directory data and functions

Mushups are useful combinations of data and functionality from two or more external sources to create a new original web service. Json2Ldap enables the easy integration of directory data and search functions into a mushup via its standard JSON-RPC 2.0 API.

Secure address book access from the Internet

Json2Ldap can be utilised to build an address book service that is securely accessed from anywhere on the web. Such a service can be backed by any LDAP v3 compatible directory, and reached via a secure HTTP connection that enforces user authentication against the directory. Access can be configured as read-only or it may also allow updates and synchronisation of the contacts. Any email, IM or telephony client that supports plugins, such as Outlook Express, Mozilla Thunderbird, or Skype, can then access the address book service remotely.

Directory access for rich internet applications (RIAs) based on Mozilla XULRunner or Adobe AIR

Mozilla XULRunner and Adobe AIR are two runtimes that allow the creation of desktop applications built with HTML (or similar markup, such as XUL), JavaScript and CSS. Json2Ldap can provide such applications with a quick way to access a directory server since they have built-in HTTP client and JavaScript support.
