bda.ldap 1.2

LDAP convenience library with caching support

This Package provides objects for LDAP communication. You probably be interrested in the LDAPSession object.

>>> from bda.ldap.base import ONELEVEL
>>> from bda.ldap.session import LDAPSession
>>> from bda.ldap.properties import LDAPServerProperties

>>> props = LDAPServerProperties('localhost',
...                              389,
...                              'cn=user,dc=example,dc=com',
...                              'secret')
>>> session = LDAPSession(props)
>>> res = session.search('(uid=*)', ONELEVEL)

LDAP Queries are cached by default. You can disable this via cache kw arg when instanciating the properties obeject.

>>> props = LDAPServerProperties('localhost',
...                              389,
...                              'cn=user,dc=example,dc=com',
...                              'secret',
...                              cache=False)
