I'm new to the list but I have some thoughts to add to the discussion in
the archives from February.  I'm using the LDAP module to build Web
interfaces for directories that are very large and efficient pagination is
a serious concern.

Thanks to Michael Stroeder for pointing out that I can to use asynchronous
searching to pull one record at a time, canceling the search when I reach
the last record on the page.  I've used a similar method with relational
databases in Perl.  But I don't like pulling so much data that I'm just
going to throw away.  Also, without some way of pulling the records in
sorted order, I need the whole set anyway if I want to present them in a
logical way.

The Netscape SDK has a Server-Side Sorting control and a Virtual List View
control that I'd love to be able to use in python.  They published a
couple of Internet Drafts:

http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ldapext-ldapv3-vlv-04.txt
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ldapext-sorting-02.txt

Another related topic I discussed with Michael is callbacks.  I think I
see now how I can get some of the effects of callbacks using asynchronous
calls, but it would be a useful feature in the API as well.  HTML
formatting of results, for instance, can sometimes be much simplified.

Thanks also to everyone who contributed to the LDAP module.  It's a
crucial protocol for any language to support.

Hello,

Could anybody tell me where i can find the documentation of the =
python-ldap
module?
Where there is clearly explained wich functions there are and how they =
work.
I've some trouble with adding persons to the ldap server. I managed to =
add
organisationalunits.
I use this code:

try:
 dn =3D "cn=3DJorgen, dc=3DPeople, dc=3DMailinglist,o=3Dbos,c=3Dnl"
 print "Updating", repr(dn)

        l.add_s(dn,
         [
            ("cn", ["Jorgen"]),
            ("givenname", ["Jorgen"]),
            ("objectclass",["top"]),
            ("objectclass",["person"]),
            ("objectclass",["organizationalperson"]),
            ("Phone", ["065464894"]),
            ("description", ["Miljonair"])
         ]
       )

except ldap.LDAPError:
        pass

l.unbind()

I get no error's but after i execute it, it isn't inserted........

Best. Regards,

Xander van Es

  Hi, I'm testing the web2ldap software, but it's
being impossible to me to install it.

  I'm trying to install it in a Windows system, so I
downloaded the software, the libs and Phyton, I put
the dlls in the right folder, I ran Python, I loaded
the web2ldap.py script in the sbin folder and when I
tried to ran it, I obtained the following error:

Traceback (innermost last):
  File "C:\web2ldap-0.9.4\sbin\web2ldap.py", line 33,
in ?
    import
w2lcore,w2lhandler,msHTTPServer,msHTTPHandler,ipadr
  File "C:\web2ldap-0.9.4\pylib\w2lhandler.py", line
11, in ?
    import sys,os,time,socket,msshelve,msgzip,\
  File "C:\web2ldap-0.9.4\pylib\ldapdns.py", line 25,
in ?
    DNS.ParseResolvConf()
  File "C:\web2ldap-0.9.4\pylib\DNS\Base.py", line 18,
in ParseResolvConf
    lines=open("/etc/resolv.conf").readlines()
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory:
'/etc/resolv.conf'


I looked for the resolv.conf file in my computer and
it seems not to exist, so, how can I fix it?

Thanks,
      Marc

Hi !

I'm new to python and need a connection to our ldap via python. I 
have downloaded the win32 version, _ldap.pyd and ldap.py. 

The readme file for win32 says that is "NOT SAFE" for multi-threading, 
but the file itself has a date mark of 1996.

Is this the version I should use or has it been updated to a version 
that is safe ?

I don't see any real install instructions (other than the readme) and I 
don't see any actual examples of how the calls s/b done. Does 
anyone know of anywhere I can get some real-life examples of binds, 
searches, modifies ? The included help files don't have install 
instructions.

Thanks,
Richard Ferry

The multithreading part is not there yet. It's a newish development in 
the main tree; I haven't got the time to do it now for the Win32 part. I 
hope it will get there in the next few weeks.

However, there is indeed a newer version under Win32, linked against 
OpenLDAP 2.0.23 instead of the old UMich libraries. It seems to work, 
but it's still in an experimental phase; if you wish to test it I may 
send the installer to you. Mind though that it's for Python 2.2.

You also need to have the SASL DLL on your path. I may provide that if 
necessary.

Well, the new version appears to work fine on my system; but I have no 
time to thoroughly test every feature.

Mind that it's just a straightforward compilation of the same codebase 
everybody else's using, only done with MSVC++ (Win32, Intel). There are 
some quirks to the build process, but other than that, it compiles quite 
smoothly.

You just have to put the DLLs on your PATH. There's two of them, if I 
remember correctly, and both are needed; they were usually found 
(already compiled) on the UMich website.

I may send you working (albeit old) binaries, if you have problems 
finding them.

BR,
Mauro

I apologize for sending another help request on the infamous 
ldap_first_reference error but I just can't seem to figure it out even after 
reading old postings.

I am using a RedHat 9.0 system with openldap-2.0.27-8 and python-2.2.2-26.  
I
downloaded python-ldap-2.0.0pre14 and compiled.  When I start python and try 
an
"import ldap" statement, I get the following error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/ldap/__init__.py", line 21, in ?
    from _ldap import *
ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/_ldap.so: undefined symbol: 
ldap_first_reference

I modified setup.cfg to try all of the following after reading old postings:
libs = ldap_r lber sasl2 ssl crypto
libs = ldap lber
libs = ldap lber resolv
libs = ldap_r lber
libs = ldap_r ldap

I compile python-ldap specifically with the version of python I am 
interested in:
python2.2 setup.py build
python2.2 setup.py install

I have also seen the following comment "This is likely due to missing 
references.c and references.lo in
libraries/libldap_r/Makefile.in".  I didn't try this 'casue I couldn't find 
the
file on my system.  Could someone explain this in more detail?

Any other thoughs on what is going wrong?

Thank you.
G.J.

What does /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/_ldap.so say?

Hi there!

I just went through it (the ldap_first_reference error). It seens like=20
a mandatory first step for Python Ldapers.  :-)

I think I can figure out what is missing on your procedures:
Did you perform a clean-up of th e compiled files between the changes=20
on setup.cfg?

The error is in ldap_r, so you must put just ldap for linking, or fix=20
ldap_r yourself, according to the message I linked to in my earlier=20
e-mail today:
libs =3D ldap lber resolv

And them
python setup.py clean --all
python setup.py build
su
python setup.py install.

I am  rolling now.=20
