Re: Python LDAP

[David L. <d...@ad...>]

python-ldap is a bit low level for that. AD is LDAP (and Kerberos) at 
heart, but there's a lot more to it than just that. python-ldap talks at 
the LDAP level.

This is an outline of what I think you want to do: you'll need to 
sasl-bind to the AD server, then locate your user's object. Its 
attribute userAccountControl is an integer with a bitmask of settings. 
Turn on bit 1 (ie value = value | 0x2) See 
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/305144 for details.
