Many Ruby libraries, implemented using native extensions, are not usable with JRuby since it doesn't support native extensions. In the jruby-extras project, JRuby ports of these libraries are collected.
Ola Bini just added another port of Ruby/LDAP called JRuby/LDAP. The JRuby version is built using the LDAP libraries shipped with Java and can be configured with the properties of Java LDAP. Installation is simple by using the Ruby Gems package system:
jruby -S gem install jruby-ldap.
Another of JRuby's missing pieces is being worked on right now: fast debugging.
