Python 3 module for accessing LDAP directory servers.
Project Description
This is a module for handling LDAP operations in Python. Uses libldap2 on Unix platforms and WinLDAP on Microsoft Windows. LDAP entries are mapped to a special Python case-insensitive dictionary, tracking the changes of the dictionary to modify the entry on the server easily.
Supports only Python 3.4 or newer, and LDAPv3.
Features
- Uses LDAP libraries (OpenLDAP and WinLDAP) written in C for faster processing.
- Simple pythonic design.
- Implements an own dictionary-like object for mapping LDAP entries that makes easier to add and modify them.
- Works with various asynchronous library (like asyncio, gevent).
Requirements for building
- python3.4-dev or newer
- libldap2-dev
- libsasl2-dev
- libkrb5-dev or heimdal-dev (optional)
Documentation
Documentation is available online with a simple tutorial.
Example
Simple search and modify:
import bonsai client = bonsai.LDAPClient("ldap://localhost") client.set_credentials("SIMPLE", ("cn=admin,dc=bonsai,dc=test", "secret")) with client.connect() as conn: res = conn.search("ou=nerdherd,dc=bonsai,dc=test", 2, "(cn=chuck)") res[0]['givenname'] = "Charles" res[0]['sn'] = "Carmichael" res[0].modify()
Using with asyncio (on Python 3.5 or newer):
import asyncio import bonsai async def do(): client = bonsai.LDAPClient("ldap://localhost") client.set_credentials("DIGEST-MD5", ("admin", "secret", None, None)) async with client.connect(is_async=True) as conn: res = await conn.search("ou=nerdherd,dc=bonsai,dc=test", 2) print(res) who = await conn.whoami() print(who) loop = asyncio.get_event_loop() loop.run_until_complete(do())
