A module that makes simple LDAP usage simple.
Project description
About
A small wrapper around the python-ldap library that provides a more Pythonic interface for LDAP server connections, LDAP objects, and the common get and search operations.
Installation
Install using pip:
pip install simpleldap
Examples
A quick and easy example using simpleldap:
>>> import simpleldap >>> conn = simpleldap.Connection('directory.example.com') >>> user = conn.get("uid=myuser") >>> user.dn 'uid=myuser,dc=directory,dc=example,dc=com' >>> user['cn'] ['Joe Smith', 'Joe M. Smith'] >>> user.first('cn') 'Joe Smith' >>> conn.close()
The Connection object can also be used as a context manager, e.g.:
with simpleldap.Connection('directory.example.com') as conn: users = conn.search("(&(givenName=Joe)(sn=Smith))")
A common method for authenticating users is to connect to an LDAP server using a service user/account and then attempt a bind operation using the user’s credentials (i.e. DN and password). The authenticate method makes this simple:
with simpleldap.Connection('directory.example.com') as conn: is_valid = conn.authenticate('uid=myuser,dc=directory,dc=example,dc=com', 'password')
LDAP also offers a feature to compare an attribute’s value with a given string. This can occasionally be more efficient and expressive than grabbing an entire object from the LDAP store. simpleldap offers a compare method for this feature:
>>> conn = simpleldap.Connection('directory.example.com') >>> user_dn = 'uid=myuser,dc=directory,dc=example,dc=com' >>> conn.compare(user_dn, 'cn', 'Joe Smith') True
