They are great at +managing individual attributes in an ldap directory, but exposing those raw attributes +is a bit rough, and cannot be put in everybody's hands. Further more, managing groups +can be a chore. Finally, managing multiple directories (or other any form of user databases) +is impossible (It's common to have an Active Directory and an OpenLdap directory +on most infrastructures, managing them in a unified way could be nice). Not to mention that +most of these application are quite old (and ugly). + +LdapCherry aims to fix that, it provides simple and nice add/modified form, roles handling +(roles are groups aggregate in LdapCherry), user self modification and search. +It can handle multiple user back-ends in a unified way, check password policy. + +LdapCherry is also highly modular, with the possibility to implement your own plugins for +the user back-ends, the authentication and the password policy. + +LdapCherry also aims to be as simple as possible to deploy: no crazy dependencies, + +few configuration files, extensive debug logs. + +************** + Screenshot +************** + +`Screenshots directory `_ + +*********** + License +*********** + +LdapCherry is published under the MIT Public License. + +******************************* + Discussion / Help / Updates +******************************* + +* IRC: `Freenode `_ ``#ldapcherry`` channel +* Bugtracker: `Github `_ + +---- + +.. image:: docs/assets/python-powered.png +.. image:: docs/assets/cherrypy.png +
