Are there any interfaces to LDAP available for Common Lisp? Either
something written purely in portable CL, or something that works with
Allegro CL 5.x? I have searched the usual archives, but didn't turn up
anything.

There is LDAP code available in elisp. I'm not sure how applicable this is
to CL, though.

It's only a ffi to a C ldap library that has to be available when
you're compiling Emacs IIRC.

If someone would want to write one from scratch in CL there is an
implementation of ASN/BER encoding at

I had come across the elisp reference, and suspected it relied upon a C
library. Thanks for confirming this point.

Yes, I have this code and am considering the effort. I've also written
to Simon asking for clarification of the status of this code vis-a-vis
reuse and redistribution.
