Rails - Nov 2006 - LDAP to AR daemon - see your people records in your desktop's addressbook

We have produced a daemon which serves up your ActiveRecord objects as
LDAP records.  You can read all about it on the Thoughtbot blog:

http://giantrobots.thoughtbot.com/2006/11/9/ldap-server-for-activerecord-models

And the svn repo is here:

http://svn.thoughtbot.com/ldap-activerecord-gateway

Here is a quick rundown of the features:

 * Runs as a daemon, completely outside of your rails application.
 * Multithreaded for performance
 * Currently designed for read-only person objects, and returns values
that Thunderbird and Addressbook.app can understand.
 * Will work out of the box for any AR subclass that implements the
class.search and obj.to_ldap methods.
 * Designed to be production-ready (all variables stored in a config
file, and all exceptions should be correctly caught).

Customizations and additions would be more than welcome.
