Yes, absolutely, I just fear those people who have this irrational =20
urge to upgrade just for upgrading's sake if something new is =20
released, and a lot of them don't like answers such as "If you're on =20
OL 2.0.27, please use python-ldap versions <=3D 2.0.10 because the =20
newest versions won't run against your antique OpenLDAP". :P

Yes, I expect these people to request support for OpenLDAP 2.0.x. But
people not willing to use a C compiler probably will have to stick to
older python-ldap releases anyway. ;-)

I have no problem with it.

You'll probably end up with more support questions, though, because =20
this requirement shuts out people on RH9/RHEL3/FC3 and earlier who =20
use the distribution-provided OpenLDAP.

By searching a non-existent entry DN from LDAP server, it would end up
with the error path and got the leak.

Yes.  It takes me some minutes to figure out that the ldap message was

Thanks for submitting the patch.
Do you have Python code demonstrating the leak?

Do you add the ldap_msgfree(msg) because LDAPmessage_to_python() is not
called in these error cases?

> BTW.  Is there any plan to release a new version soon?

I could release a new version very soon. (Despite that SF sucks and
again I can't contact the CVS repository via SSH at the moment.)

Note that as already stated in CVS version of CHANGES upcoming
python-ldap 2.2.0 will require OpenLDAP libs 2.2.x or later for the build.

Uuumh. This should have never been added to CVS.
I removed it. Maybe you can tweak it to use ldap.async (like web2ldap does).

> To what module is refering?

ldap.res was planned to be a better implementation of what ldap.async
provides but was never finished. I tend more to use ldap.resiter which
is not finished either. But it seems I already moved examples from
Demo/Lib/ldap/async/ to Demo/Lib/ldap/res/. I've reverted this change.
Please test the CVS scripts.

Ciao, Michael.

module ldap.res

[Victor F. <vic...@up...>]

Hello,

I'm trying to delete a complete branch in a ldap server programatically. 
I've found the script "deltree.py" in the documentation of the package 
python-ldap, but I haven't found the way to execute it, because it 
complains about the module "ldap.res"...

To what module is refering?

Thanks in advance.

Re: Base64 encoded attributes

[Glenn B. <gl...@ca...>]

I'm actually not encoding the attribute values, Fedora Directory is, =20
so I'm just trying to find a way to deal with it. I'm just trying to =20
find out how to get the values in any form so I can work with them. =20
The return object does not contain the encoded values at all.

My current search base is:
  base_dn =3D ou=3D<groupname>,o=3Dcaltech,c=3Dus

The search can be anything and it gives the same problem. For example

  search =3D '(uid=3D<usename>)'

Thanks for responding.

python-ldap uses the api directly, and there's no need for base64-encoded=
=20
attribute values. use utf-8 directly as its the way ldap stores its data =
anyways.

It would help for later reference, if you also stated the value of base_d=

Base64 encoded attributes

I am doing a search:

   ldap_obj.search_s(base_dn, ldap.SCOPE_SUBTREE, search)

and I find that the base64 encoded attributes are not returning. They return just fine in

[patch] passwd is non-RFC-complaint

[Timur I. <Tim...@oi...>]

Hi,

Recently I've found that SimpleLDAPObject.passwd doesn't adhere RFC 3062:

   PasswdModifyRequestValue ::= SEQUENCE {
     userIdentity    [0]  OCTET STRING OPTIONAL
     oldPasswd       [1]  OCTET STRING OPTIONAL
     newPasswd       [2]  OCTET STRING OPTIONAL }

But in Lib/ldap/ldapobject.py:
  def passwd(self,user,oldpw,newpw,serverctrls=None,clientctrls=None):

And in Modules/LDAPObject.c:
    if (!PyArg_ParseTuple( args, "s#s#s#|OO", &user.bv_val, &user_len, &oldpw.bv_val, &oldpw_len, &newpw.bv_val, &newpw_len, &serverctrls, &clientctrls ))

    // ...

    ldaperror = ldap_passwd( self->ldap, &user, &oldpw, &newpw, server_ldcs, client_ldcs, &msgid );

So I attach a patch to correct the situation.

The only problem I've found is when newpw is None Python passwd_s method doesn't
return generated password in result as native function does. This doesn't affect
my code but it's obviously a problem. Any suggestions? 

The OpenLDAP libldap does adhere the RFC and works as expected with NULL
pointers in place of &user, &oldpw and &newpw.

Re: modify_s and MOD_ADD problem

hi!
I solved my problem setting in slapd.conf "schemacheck off".
In nis.schema there is:
attributetype ( 1.3.6.1.1.1.1.12 NAME 'memberUid'

        SUBSTR caseExactIA5SubstringsMatch

        DESC 'Abstraction of a group of accounts'
        MUST ( cn $ gidNumber )
        MAY ( userPassword $ memberUid $ description ) )

Is this right?

How I can change it to accept multiple memberUid?

modify_s and MOD_ADD problem

[Fabio <fab...@du...>]

hi!

I have a problem: I have to add a memberUid attribute in ldap directory
and I use modify_s() and MOD_ADD but I get this error:
{'info': 'modify/add: memberUid: value #0 already exists', 'desc': 'Type
or value exists'}

I know that another memberUid exists but I have to add another one.

In docs (http://csci.mrs.umn.edu/twiki/view/Dungeon/PythonLDAP) I see:
Objects can have more than one value of the same type. For instance, grou=
p
objects have a memberUid entry for each user that is in them. Use MOD_ADD
to add new entries, and MOD_REPLACE to change the value of entries.

I use ldap 2.2.23-8 (sarge) and samba.

A group can have multiple memberUids or not?

Thanks in advance,
Fabio

It's a point of view.

The "low-level->high-level" is a good idea to me.
But some of our teachers think that the best one would be
"high-level->low-level".
That is why they introduce algorithm and programation with OCaml and or
Python but not with C.
As well as you are here and advice me, I wil follow you, but my teachers
tell me the opposite :-)
Thank you for your help anyway.

Tutorial:
http://www.grotan.com/ldap/python-ldap-samples.html
Based on http://homepage.mac.com/mengelhart/python-ldap-samples.html and
added section for add and modify.

Online documentation:
http://python-ldap.sourceforge.net/doc/python-ldap/ldap-objects.html

I suggest you open the pydoc-generated ^^^^ and download the source and
look in the Demo-directory for more examples on how to use python-ldap
in different scenarios.

You can also look at and download luma.sf.net and see how its done there.
