Who cares? Use it, and see if it's good enough for your needs. Then, if not,
see if alternatives are better.

There seldomly is "the best" if there are several options, because the
details and quirks of various solutions might appeal to one and repulse
someone else. But nobody is going to know what *you* like best.

I've used python-ldap for writing scripts to interact with LDAP
directories quite a few times, check it out here at the cheeseshop:

http://python-ldap.sf.net is the most complete implementation I know of.
(Being the maintainer I might be biased.) It has the caveat of depending
on the OpenLDAP client libs and possibly other libs (OpenSSL,
cyrus-sasl). So generating a binary build can be heavy work. For which
OSs are you developing and which kind of LDAP servers do you want to access?

Ciao, Michael.

I have DB2 V8.2 loaded on a Redhat Enterprise Linux version 3 (RHEL 3) box. RHEL is configured to talk to LDAP for authenticaton besides the local passwd file. I can verify this by executing an su to a User Id that exists in LDAP and not in the local /etc/passwd file. Also verified that the connection to LDAP is working by ssh into the box.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
