Re: ssl/tls and ldap?

[Anthony B. <ant...@ho...>]

I was wondering if it is possible to use the ldap libraries to access an 
ldap directory on port 636 using ssl.

I couldn't find anything about it in the documentation.

Thanks,

Anthony

It is possible provided your local OpenLDAP libs were built with
'./configure --with-tls' and python-ldap was built with 'ssl crypto' 
(without quotes) added to line 'libs' in setup.cfg.

See Build/setup.cfg.suse-linux for an example for setup.cfg with SSL/TLS and 
SASL support.

See Demo/initialize.py in python-ldap's source distribution.

Ciao, Michael.
