I prefer you node-LDAP.

In your application, you can use following structure

var ldap = require('LDAP');
var ldapObj = new ldap({ uri: 'ldap://your_server', version: 3});

//check your connection
ldapObj.open(function(err) {
    if (err) {
       throw new Error('Connection problem occured!');
    }
    console.log("Connected to ldap");

});

//Search
search_options = {
    base: '',
    scope: '',
    filter: '',
    attrs: ''
}

ldapObj.search(search_options, function(err, data){
   if (err) {
      throw new Error('Search filed');
   } else {
      console.log("Search result:" + JSON.stringify(data))
   }

});
