Date:
*ldap2pg 5.0 released*

====================

ldap2pg is a tool for *roles and privileges synchronization from a LDAP compatible directory*. Configuration is simple yet powerful, from a YAML file. ldap2pg eases integration and securisation of PostgreSQL in your infrastructure.

After vacation, ldap2pg is available in version 5.0!

The project features a major functionality: client-side LDAP join, aka *LDAP sub-queries*. Joins are handful especially with Active Directory schema.

Since 4.0, ldap2pg shipped up to 18 releases, including:
* Support for Postgres 9.3 and 9.4;
* Simplification for LDAP queries configuration;
* Finer configuration of role scope to confine ldap2pg playground;
* Comment on roles;
* Reduced execution time and memory consumption;
* Safer loading of YAML configuration;
* Better compatibility with Active Directory, by disabling REFERRALS by default;
* Better compatibility with RDS by running without super privileges and excluding RDS predefined roles;
* An official Docker image: dalibo/ldap2pg.
