LDAP Search from Google Apps Script (ideally within Sheets)?

Question

I see that there's a somewhat-similar question to this here , but it's 8 years old, so I thought I might ask again:

Is there any way to do an LDAP search from within a Google Apps Script (like ldapsearch on the command line, or an ldaps call)? Even better would be if that script could run within Google Sheets.

My hope is that I might be able to take a column of email addresses in a Sheet and fill in subsequent columns with details from our LDAP server. I know I could do it from python connecting to both Sheets and LDAP, but I'm hoping to implement something a bit more user-friendly for the nontechnical folks that would find that useful. I also know that I can do RESTful https calls from Google Apps Script, but I haven't found a way to do ldaps calls.

Answer 1

There is not any native Apps Script LDAP service

You could always make a feature request if you think its significant.

Workaround

You could write a library within Apps Script to wrap your HTTP requests, and so, abstracting the request to a level more suited to your users.

Then you could just tell your users to add your library and provide some instructions on how to use your classes or functions.
