Binding to LDAP service

I'm using Ruby and trying to bind an LDAP server. The Ruby documentation seems to be very vague here and it's not obvious what I need to do after the following:

>> require 'uri'
=> true

>> newuri = URI::LDAP.build({:host => '10.1.1.1', :dc => 'cjndemo' , :dc => 'com',       :user =>'admin', :password => 'Passw0rd'})
=> #<URI::LDAP:0x007fea9d0cef60 URL:ldap://10.1.1.1?>

What do I need to do to bind then query my LDAP service?

URI::LDAP is only for parsing and generating LDAP URIs. If you want to query the LDAP server you need to use a different tool like net-ldap or ruby-ldap.

An example of binding with simple authentication using net-ldap:

require 'net/ldap'

ldap = Net::LDAP.new(:host => '10.1.1.1',
                     :auth => {
                       :method => :simple,
                       :username => 'cn=admin,dc=cjndemo,dc=com',
                       :password => 'Passw0rd'
                      })

if ldap.bind
  base = 'dc=cjndemo,dc=com'
  filter = Net::LDAP::Filter.eq('objectclass', '*')
  ldap.search(:base => base, :filter => filter) do |object|
    puts "dn: #{object.dn}"
  end
else
  # authentication error
end
