+# Basic LDAP auth for an Ergo IRC server
+
+[Main documentation here.](https://github.com/ergochat/ergo-ldap)
+
+For simple user auth prepare a ldap-config.yaml with the following settings
+
+```
+host: "127.0.0.1"
+port: 3890
+timeout: 30s
+
+# uncomment for TLS / LDAPS:
+# use-ssl: true
+
+bind-dn: "uid=%s,ou=people,dc=example,dc=org"
+```
+
+Then add the compiled ergo-ldap program to your Ergo folder and make sure it can be executed by the same user your Ergo IRCd runs as.
+
+Follow the instructions in the main Ergo config file's accounts section on how to execute an external auth program.
+
+Make sure SASL auth is enabled and then restart Ergo to enable LDAP linked SASL auth.
