Rails using Devise LDAP authenticable gem to get all LDAP users - ruby-on-rails

I've been using Devise's LDAP_authenticable gem for weeks now with a Rails 4 application and it works great for authenticating and finding a users LDAP information when I have someone's samaccountname.
Is there no way to use this gem to simply view all users in a LDAP Active Directory?
This seems pretty common, I was hoping that someone has already discovered how to do this?

Rails Authentication and Authorization - Best approach?

I've been battling at how to accomplish this for a while and even started working on different solutions only to notice it's not very practical or could lead to problems.
Scenario: A user can create an Admin account and invite (mail invite) another user as a Client. I was thinking of using the devise_invitable gem to handle the invitation process. I'm not sure if I should have 2 models (Admin/Client).
Gems I've been considering:
devise
devise_invitable
cancancan
pundit
rollify
The thing is that whatever setup I use for authentication and authorization must comply with devise_invitable gem given that its a load of my mind to build that functionality myself.

Devise and Oauth 2.0. If you need an admin panel you can use rails_admin or there are a variety of admin gems as well, Or you can make your own.

rails sorcery gem and ldap authentication using net-ldap and/or activeldap

I have a rails 3.1.1 app which is using sorcery gem for the authentication. I was wondering if I can hook in LDAP in there so that I can authenticate against an ldap server instead of a database table. Has anyone implemented this?

I have done it with devise and devise-ldap auth.
Here are some of the links I found in my search.

Need Recommendations for Twitter and Facebook Gems

I'm building an app in Rails 3. I currently have a user model which is authenticated via devise (email + password auth). I want to be able to show connect to facebook, connect to twitter buttons to the users once they are logged in.
After obtaining the keys from Facebook and Twitter, I'd want to store it in the database for future requests.
Which Ruby Gems should I be using for this use case?
Thanks!

Instead of Facebooker, we just implemented a facebook-connect style login and application using mini_fb
Mini_fb uses the new graph API, which is cool, and was easy to implement. We used Rails3 and authlogic, but difference to devise should be negligible.
For twitter, this twitter gem is nice, but this devise-twitter gem looks nice for login.

Okay, still no answers. Please check out the Ruby Toolbox, I'm sure the answer is there. It will tell you what the most common gems are for your problem if you can figure out the categorization system. Also, facebooker is a nice gem but it's a little old.

Facebooker is deprecated in favour of mogli, which uses the Graph API. And for Twitter, I'd recommend John Nunemaker's twitter. Since you are already using Devise, you can use the devise-twitter as mentioned by Jesse Wolgamott.

rails 3 authentication

i'm currently buidling my own blog using rails 3. and use devise gem for authentication. the problem is , i want only one user out here --- the admin user, and prehibits others from signing up, how can I achive that?

Is there any reason why you can not use Basic Http Authentication? IMHO devise seems to be an overkill for this usecase.
