It combines LDAP bind options, tree browsing, searches, group membership work, deleted-object inspection, DACL editing, GPO viewing, ADIDNS operations, and export workflows in a single TUI. ### Project history The public GitHub repository was created in December 2023. The README describes godap as a complete terminal user interface for LDAP and lists authentication support for passwords, NTLM hashes, Kerberos tickets, and PEM or PKCS#12 certificates. The project grew quickly through the 2.x release line. Its README calls it a fun side project that became useful, and the release history shows frequent 2.10.x maintenance and feature releases through 2025 and early 2026. ### Adoption history godap's adoption is visible through security and directory-service packaging channels rather than broad language-runtime ecosystems. The README says community members published working releases in Homebrew, Alpine Linux community, and Arch AUR, while upstream provides automated releases for several platforms. GitHub repository metadata showed hundreds of stars by June 2026, consistent with a specialized but visible tool for LDAP and Active Directory operators. ### How it is used Typical usage is `godap ` with bind flags for username and password, NTLM hash, Kerberos ticket, certificate, anonymous bind, LDAPS, StartTLS, or SOCKS proxy. The README and wiki document in-session connection changes, reconnects, TLS upgrades, paging, formatting, colors, expanded attributes, and deleted-object controls. godap is interactive by design: users navigate LDAP trees, search objects, inspect and edit attributes, manage groups, export data, and perform Active Directory-specific operations from terminal keybindings. ### Why package nerds care Package nerds care about godap because it is a modern Go TUI packaged for a niche operational workflow. It shows how security and infrastructure tools often move from GitHub releases to Homebrew, Alpine, and AUR once operators want repeatable workstation installs. It also has unusually rich credential and transport surfaces for a CLI package, which matters to packagers and users checking docs for Kerberos, certificates, LDAPS, StartTLS, SOCKS, and Active Directory behavior. ### Timeline - 2023-12: GitHub repository created. - 2024-12: v2.10.2 and v2.10.3 releases published. - 2025-02: v2.10.4 released. - 2025-10: v2.10.7 released. - 2026-03: v2.11.0 released. ### Related projects - tview is the Go terminal UI toolkit named by the repository topics. - ldapper and Darksteel are acknowledged as sources for adapted DACL parsing and SOCKS code. - BadBlood is acknowledged as useful test data during development. ### Sources - - - - - - ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** godap - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Head Version:** HEAD - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** head, stable ## Other Package-Manager Records - apk - godap - 2.11.1-r0: normalized package name match | Alpine Linux edge package indexes: godap from https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/community/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz | A complete TUI for LDAP | https://github.com/Macmod/godap - apk - godap-bash-completion - 2.11.1-r0: normalized package name match | Alpine Linux edge package indexes: godap-bash-completion from https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/community/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz | Bash completions for godap | https://github.com/Macmod/godap - apk - godap-doc - 2.11.1-r0: normalized package name match | Alpine Linux edge package indexes: godap-doc from https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/community/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz | A complete TUI for LDAP (documentation) | https://github.com/Macmod/godap - apk - godap-fish-completion - 2.11.1-r0: normalized package name match | Alpine Linux edge package indexes: godap-fish-completion from https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/community/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz | Fish completions for godap | https://github.com/Macmod/godap - apk - godap-zsh-completion - 2.11.1-r0: normalized package name match | Alpine Linux edge package indexes: godap-zsh-completion from https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/community/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz | Zsh completions for godap | https://github.com/Macmod/godap ## Related links - [Source-control packages](https://pkg.so/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [Terminal utility packages](https://pkg.so/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Text processing packages](https://pkg.so/text-processing-tools/) - Matched text, document, or structured-data processing metadata. - [Developer build packages](https://pkg.so/developer-build-tools/) - Matched build, compiler, generator, or developer workflow metadata. - [go](https://pkg.so/brew/go/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [television](https://pkg.so/brew/television/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, tui. - [glow](https://pkg.so/brew/glow/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, tui. - [fx](https://pkg.so/brew/fx/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, tui. - [gitui](https://pkg.so/brew/gitui/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, tui. - [jjui](https://pkg.so/brew/jjui/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, tui. - [posting](https://pkg.so/brew/posting/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, tui. - [hunk](https://pkg.so/brew/hunk/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, tui. - [harlequin](https://pkg.so/brew/harlequin/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, tui. - [oxker](https://pkg.so/brew/oxker/) - Local package facts share a topical domain.
