I gave up for the moment on getting ldaps working on win32 and moved to
solaris with some success. Thought I would share some code for resetting
passwords in Active Directory (which isnt as straight forward as it
seems). I had initially tried to use ldap.modlist to make the modlist,
but it kept trying to do an add, when you need to do a replace in the
case where you bind as administrator (which I am).
# assumptions:
# a) its active directory
# b) you've bound to the ssl port
# c) you've bound as administrator
# d) your connection is called ldap_handle
account_dn =3D "cn=3Dadam,ou=3Dtest,dc=3Dads"
password =3D "foo"
password_attr =3D "unicodePwd"
unicode_step1 =3D unicode("\"" + password + "\"", "iso-8859-1")
unicode_step2 =3D unicode_step1.encode("utf-16-le")
password_value =3D unicode_step2
mods =3D [(ldap.MOD_REPLACE, password_attr, [password_value])]
ldap_handle.modify(account_dn, mods)
Thought it might be handy to have this able to be found by the mailing
list search.
