ldapsearch example in python-ldap?

[Nico Grubert]

Hi there,

on a linux machine I am running this ldapsearch from the command line:

ldapsearch -x -h myldaphost.mydo main.com \
-D "CN=ldapuser,CN =Users,DC=mydom ain,DC=com" -w "secret" \
-b "CN=ANYCOMPUTER ,CN=Computers,D C=mydomain,DC=c om"

How can I do this with python-ldap?

Regards,
Nico

http://python-ldap.sourceforge.net/docs.shtml contains some links to
introductions.

This command above boils down to:

l=ldap.initiali ze("ldap://myldaphost.mydo main.com")
l.simple_bind_s ("CN=ldapuser,C N=Users,DC=mydo main,DC=com","s ecret")
r = l.search_s(
"CN=ANYCOMPUTER ,CN=Computers,D C=mydomain,DC=c om",
ldap.SCOPE_SUBT REE, # this is the default of ldapsearch
"(objectClass=* )"
)

But you really should learn more about it by diving into:
