Show HN: Moribito – A TUI for LDAP Viewing/Queries
Check out my TUI I wrote for viewing and querying an LDAP. I need to do basic queries and validation daily for work, and as I work on a mac, there are really no good options. The major player is the Apache Directory Studio which is... not great. So I decided to create a new one.

I’m glad this tool exists.
1. Installation script doesn't work on Windows. Exit 1 is particularly problematic as it kills the current shell
2. No search on current page vim style (/) or full page up/down J/K
3. On Query page j works but k somewhat scrambless the page in Windows terminal
Not sure how seriously you want to support Windows, I could rise tickets on Github
#2 is a great idea. open a ticket if you'd like.
I often do
and another tool could be useful.Verified the services respond/credentials work [through the UI, my ldapsearch-fu is weak] :)
You don't really have to do much more than that for the purpose of testing this (no creating of accounts, groups, sub-trees, etc).
Perhaps at most go to the stanza/paragraph that defines "olcDbIndex" values, add a new one, and see if a new index file is created in "olcDbDirectory" (often /var/lib/ldap):

There are lots of TUIs there.

You might want to consider adding a LICENSE file to the repo. That's the first place I looked before noticing it at the bottom of the readme.
