I'm not sure how that would be any easier, or what you mean by setting up an
LDAP "toolchain" - Net:::LDAP is a self-contained library in pure Ruby. All
you have to do is install it like any other Ruby library. Calling
Net::LDAP#bind to authenticate against an LDAP directory or A/D is a
one-liner. (Two lines if you count require 'net/ldap')
