Add a method for getting all users?

This would allow for more specific user management without needing an explicit username or password, something like:
// auth with admin
let options = {
ldapOpts: {
url: 'ldap://example.com',
// tlsOptions: { rejectUnauthorized: false }
},
adminDn: 'cn=read-only-admin,dc=example,dc=com',
adminPassword: 'password'
// starttls: false
}
let user = await users(options)
console.log(user)
A query for that would look like "uid=*,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com"
, I think this could be a great improvement to make the library powerful while also keeping it simple.
I am debating if we should include this feature. The purpose of ldap-authentication is as the name indicates, authenticate a user. Adding getting all users may diverge from that goal.
This feature would be great, I also need it.
Just a note when implementing this: all LDAP servers have a limit how many entries will be returned when doing a simple search()
(usually 1000). So when implementing this, add paged: true
as option for ldapjs.
