pyramid-ldap3 0.4.2

We require Python 2.7 or 3.5 and newer now

Fixed and modernized the unit tests

Avoid fetching a connection from the pool when the result is cached. This should improve the performance, particularly when the connection pool is not working properly for some reason. Thanks to Daniel Nilsson.

Improved and documented the sample application

Made pyramid_ldap3 compatible with Pyramid 1.10

We require Pyramid >= 1.4 now

The login value in the search filter is now properly escaped in the authenticate() method. Although the bind test in the second stage of the method ensures the proper password is passed, this could be exploited to login with a different user name like ‘foo*’ instead of ‘foobar’. Thanks to Patrick Valsecchi for the bug report.

Since ldap3 version 2.0.7, schema information is loaded from the server on every connection. This is normally not needed for authentication and slows down the connections, so we now disable this feature. If you fetch user or group attributes and want them to be properly formatted, you must enable this feature by setting get_info to ‘SCHEMA’ or ‘ALL’ when calling ldap_setup().

Adaptations to changes in ldap3 version 2, including changed constant names.

This version is intended to support the newer ldap3 versions >= 2.0 only.

Explicitly requires ldap3 < version 2.0 for compatibility reasons.

This version is intended to support the older ldap3 versions < 2.0 only.

The pool lifetime is now configurable

Account for renaming of python3-ldap to ldap3

Proper unbinding of Connections

Do not fill cache if caching has been disabled

Release as source package and universal wheel

Support server pools

Ignore results without a dn instead of raising an error

Escape special characters when querying for groups

Do not cache invalid responses

Added documentation on recursive group queries

Use implicit binding and proper unbinding of connections.

Made return values of pyramid_ldap3 compatible with pyramid_ldap.
