Ldaptor
Ldaptor is a pure-Python library that implements:
- LDAP client logic
- separately-accessible LDAP and BER protocol message generation/parsing
- ASCII-format LDAP filter generation and parsing
- LDIF format data generation
- Samba password changing logic
Also included is a set of LDAP utilities for use from the command line.
Verbose documentation can be found on ReadTheDocs.
Quick Usage Example
from twisted.internet import reactor, defer
from ldaptor.protocols.ldap import ldapclient, ldapsyntax, ldapconnector
@defer.inlineCallbacks
def example():
serverip = '192.168.128.21'
basedn = 'dc=example,dc=com'
binddn = 'bjensen@example.com'
bindpw = 'secret'
query = '(cn=Babs*)'
c = ldapconnector.LDAPClientCreator(reactor, ldapclient.LDAPClient)
overrides = {basedn: (serverip, 389)}
client = yield c.connect(basedn, overrides=overrides)
yield client.bind(binddn, bindpw)
o = ldapsyntax.LDAPEntry(client, basedn)
results = yield o.search(filterText=query)
for entry in results:
print entry
if __name__ == '__main__':
df = example()
df.addErrback(lambda err: err.printTraceback())
df.addCallback(lambda _: reactor.stop())
reactor.run()
Installation
Ldaptor can be installed using the standard command line method:
python setup.py install
or using pip from PyPI:
pip install ldaptor
Linux distributions may also have ready packaged versions of Ldaptor and Twisted. Debian and Ubuntu have quality Ldaptor packages that can be installed e.g., by:
apt-get install python-ldaptor
To run the LDAP server (runs on port 38942):
twistd -ny --pidfile=ldapserver.pid --logfile=ldapserver.log \ test-ldapserver.tac
