I see.
Still, is there an example of authenticating an Http connection in lua?
 
im fairly certan i can do a JWT implementation

and for LDAP, it may still easyer to proxy a simple (non-ldap) message over a 
socket, and write a bridge to ldap daemon in something thats not lua. (use at 
your own risk/understanding/vetting)

kind of like this https://doc.powerdns.com/md/authoritative/backend-pipe/
(i know thats not for auth, but same concept)

Hi,

I complement, I would say, that the Lua bindings for the standard
Openldap client exists, but unfortunately, the operation is blocking,
and doesn't run very well with HAProxy.

It seems that a Lua rewrite of the LDAP protocol using standard Lua
HAProxy socket is a solution, but this is a big development. Maybe a
partial implementation (juste the binding) will be usefull.
