Greetings,
My ldap application relies on user input for a ldap server uri, so I am looking for a way to use the ldap api to determine whether the ldap server is up or not.
All the docs have to say is this: initialize(uri)
Opens a new connection with an LDAP server, and return an LDAP object (see 1.1.4) used to perform operations on that server. Parameter uri has to be a valid LDAP URL. -
server = "ldap://666.222.111.333"
-
try:
-
l = ldap.initialize(server)
-
except ldap.LDAPError, errorMsg:
-
print errorMsg
-
When I run this code, no exception is raised, but there is clearly no ldap server running at that invalid ip address. If I try doing a bind afterwards, I can get an exception to be raised, but I have had unpredictable results in the amount of time (even using result()) that this takes.
Is initialize actually trying to make a connection?
If so, how can I find out if the connection failed without doing a bind?
I'm running python 2.4.2 on SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop v. 10.

As far as I can tell, both maintainers of the Windows builds of
Python-LDAP haven't updated in about a year. This doesn't exactly
make the builds ancient or obsolete, but it would be nice to start
fresh with the latest version.
I've tried without success in building it myself. The hardest part is
simply that Python-LDAP is dependent on at LEAST two other projects --
OpenLDAP and Cyrus SASL. This increases the difficulty three-fold.

I am attempting to pull info from an LDAP server (Active Directory),
but cannot specify an OU. In other words, I need to search users in
all OU's, not a specific one.
Here is what works:
con = ldap.initialize("ldap://server.local")
con.simple_bind_s('user@domain', pass)
result = con.search_ext_s(

Thanks for the help guys, it works! I used the
ldap.set_option(ldap.OPT_REFERRALS, 0) from http://peeved.org/blog/2007/11/20/
immedialtey after import, then did the initialize trace_level=2 and
did the simple_bind_s. I was able to search and get the results.
That trace_level thing is nice, i'm sure i will be debugging this more
as i move forward :)
Not sure if this is an AD thing or just something i needed to do with

Hi,
I have a MS Windows AD domain, and have one OU with more tan 1000 users
objects. When I try to read it, I hit the 1000 limit of AD while returning

Here is my actual code, it is not the cleanest as I am learning python.
Suggestions are welcomed :)

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.
