There is a raw binding to openldap c library.

Andrei,
Yeah, I already know about these LDAP/OpenLDAP library (which is 
also most funded/written by Novell/Suse engineers), however that 
is all C based and I was thinking about it writing/rewriting all 
in D to be in 'D'Best or 'D'Smart code, adding a few extra 
features (such as thread polls) and things like that.

Thanks,
-Daniel

That would be a great candidate for std.net! -- Andrei

Andrei,

Please, do we have any docs on the standards needed when writing 
new libraries for/in D?
Also, do we have a doc with all the language statements, samples 
I could use when writing the new libraries, for example socket 
programming/statements with D and things like that?

Thanks,

That would be great.  My biggest issue with OpenLDAP is that
there's no facility to use it with an event-based network model.
There's some internal function to get the file descriptor for a
connection, but you can't actually use it.  Ideally, such a
library would optionally let you do the event handling yourself
and just call API routines to process message chunks on each
event callback.

Sean,

Yep, I totally agree with you.
