ldaptools

Helper modules to work with LDAP directories and test LDAP tools against OpenLDAP.

• ldaptools.ldif_utils: simple parser for LDIF files
• ldaptools.ldap_source: generate a stream of LDAP entries from an LDAP URL
• ldaptools.synchronize: synchronization class to synchronize a source of LDAP records with a target
• ldaptools.paged: an LDAPObject implementating paged search requests
• ldaptools.ldapsync: a command line client to the Synchronize class
• ldaptools.slapd: launch a standalone slapd server, manipulate its configuration, it helps in writing tests against OpenLDAP.

ldapsync

usage: ldapsync [-h] –object-class-pivot OBJECT_CLASS_PIVOT

[–attributes-file ATTRIBUTES_FILE] [–attributes ATTRIBUTES] –source-uri SOURCE_URI –source-base-dn SOURCE_BASE_DN [–source-bind-dn SOURCE_BIND_DN] [–source-bind-password SOURCE_BIND_PASSWORD] –target-uri TARGET_URI –target-base-dn TARGET_BASE_DN [–target-bind-dn TARGET_BIND_DN] [–target-bind-password TARGET_BIND_PASSWORD] [–fake] [–verbose]

Synchronize an LDIF file or a source LDAP directory to another directory Base DN of the source is remapped to another DN in the target directory

optional arguments:

-h, --help	show this help message and exit
--object-class-pivot OBJECT_CLASS_PIVOT
	an objectClass and an attribute name which is the unique identifier for this class
--attributes-file ATTRIBUTES_FILE
	a file containing the list of attributes to synchronize
--attributes ATTRIBUTES
	a list of attribute names separated by spaces
--source-uri SOURCE_URI
	URL of an LDAP directory (ldapi://, ldap:// or ldaps://) or path of and LDIF file
--source-base-dn SOURCE_BASE_DN
	base DN of the source
--source-bind-dn SOURCE_BIND_DN
	bind DN for a source LDAP directory
--source-bind-password SOURCE_BIND_PASSWORD
	bind password for a source LDAP directory
--target-uri TARGET_URI
	URL of the target LDAP directory
--target-base-dn TARGET_BASE_DN
	base DN of the target LDAP directory
--target-bind-dn TARGET_BIND_DN
	bind DN for a target LDAP directory
--target-bind-password TARGET_BIND_PASSWORD
	bind password for a target LDAP directory
--fake	compute synchronization actions but do not apply
--verbose	print all actions to stdout

Exemple

Synchronize tree of organizational units and people between an LDIF file and a local OpenLDAP directory:

ldapsync --attributes 'uid cn givenName sn dc ou o description mail member' \
         --object-class-pivot 'inetOrgPerson uid' \
         --object-class-pivot 'organizationalUnit ou' \
         --object-class-pivot 'dcobject dc' \
         --source-uri dump.ldif \
         --source-base-dn dc=myorganization,dc=fr \
         --target-uri ldapi:// \
         --target-base-dn o=myorganization,dc=otherorganization,dc=fr \
         --verbose

Synchronize tree of organizational units and people between two LDAP directories:

ldapsync --attributes 'uid cn givenName sn dc ou o description mail member' \
         --object-class-pivot 'inetOrgPerson uid' \
         --object-class-pivot 'organizationalUnit ou' \
         --object-class-pivot 'dcobject dc' \
         --source-uri ldap://ldap.myorganization.fr \
         --source-bind-dn uid=admin,ou=people,dc=myorganization,dc=fr
         --source-bind-password password
         --source-base-dn dc=myorganization,dc=fr \
         --target-uri ldap://ldap.otherorganization.fr
         --target-bind-dn uid=admin,o=myorganization,dc=otherorganization,dc=fr
         --target-bind-password password
         --target-base-dn o=myorganization,dc=otherorganization,dc=fr \
         --verbose
