Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

ActiveDirectory for Node-RED

build CodeQL NPM NPM_downloads issues

node-red-contrib-activedirectory is a Node-RED nodes collection for Microsoft Active Directory. It is based on the activedirectory2 ldapjs client for auth (authentication) and authZ (authorization) for Microsoft Active Directory (documentation here).

If you want to contribute in order to add brand new features and/or nodes, do not hesitate to join and submit your merge requests!


:heavy_exclamation_mark: Breaking CHANGES FROM v0.2 to v0.3 :heavy_exclamation_mark:

A config node holds the connection parameters now. Please, redeploy your active directory nodes.


Getting started

  1. Install Node-RED (more):
sudo npm install -g node-red
  1. Go to your node-RED conf directory (basically ~/.node-red)
npm install node-red-contrib-activedirectory
  1. There you go! You can run Node-RED with:

Connection

Every node requires LDAP configuration/credentials (configured in the config-node) to create an instance of the client configured according to the following options:

  • url {string}: Active Directory server to connect to, e.g. ldap://ad.example.com.
  • username {string}: An account name capable of performing the operations desired.
  • password {string}: Password for the given username.

The configuration for the baseDN has to be configured seperately for each node.

  • baseDN {string}: The root DN from which all searches will be performed, e.g. dc=example,dc=com.
