Python LDAP

[Nicholas J. C. <nc...@gm...>]

Hello, I'm trying to write a script to enable user accounts that I run
cross-platform. (Linux and PC)

Does anyone know how I could start go about doing this?

I know there is active_directory python module, but that solely relies on
win32 COM architecture.

any help/suggestions is appreciated....

Thanks,

Nick

Python LDAP

Hi,

I am trying to access a Lotus Notes LDAP server.

I got the information from the Notes admin that I should use a Base DN 
that consists of a single space. That feels very strange to me.

Has one of the subscribers already succeeded to connect to Lotus Notes ?

Thanks

The hints you gave about the use of ldapsearch enabled me to understand 
better the setup of the Notes server I was trying to search.

I have now a working setup : thanks for this !

Hi

python-ldap is a ldap client library and then can access any LDAP server,
including the not completely compliant M$ active directory.

But your problem is not very clear in your question.

ok.  I was just wondering what function or class I would need to use in the
python-ldap module to update a user account's info, to enable it.

like with the active_directory module, you can do like
username.AccountDisabled()
== True     username.setInfo()

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.
