So,

I’m new to LDAP and semi-new to rails.

I’ve referenced this page -  
[http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/HowtoAuthenticateViaLdap](http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/HowtoAuthenticateViaLdap)

My questions : Does this method WORK on Windows?

I’ve installed all of the gems(after manually downloading them) but when  
adding “requireldap” in my environment Webrick fails to boot.

Is there an updated method to get LDAP and Rails working together on  
Windows?

Thanks!
