Ldaptor is a pure-Python library that implements:

• LDAP client logic
• separately-accessible LDAP and BER protocol message generation/parsing
• ASCII-format LDAP filter generation and parsing
• LDIF format data generation
• Samba password changing logic

Also included is a set of LDAP utilities for use from the command line.

Verbose documentation can be found on ReadTheDocs <https://ldaptor.readthedocs.org>_.

Quick Usage Example

.. code-block:: python

from twisted.internet import reactor, defer
from ldaptor.protocols.ldap import ldapclient, ldapsyntax, ldapconnector

@defer.inlineCallbacks
def example():
    # The following arguments may be also specified as unicode strings
    # but it is recommended to use byte strings for ldaptor objects
    serverip = b'192.168.128.21'
    basedn = b'dc=example,dc=com'
    binddn = b'[email protected]'
    bindpw = b'secret'
    query = b'(cn=Babs*)'
    c = ldapconnector.LDAPClientCreator(reactor, ldapclient.LDAPClient)
    overrides = {basedn: (serverip, 389)}
    client = yield c.connect(basedn, overrides=overrides)
    yield client.bind(binddn, bindpw)
    o = ldapsyntax.LDAPEntry(client, basedn)
    results = yield o.search(filterText=query)
    for entry in results:
        print(entry.getLDIF())

if __name__ == '__main__':
    df = example()
    df.addErrback(lambda err: err.printTraceback())
    df.addCallback(lambda _: reactor.stop())
    reactor.run()

Installation

Ldaptor can be installed using the standard command line method::

python setup.py install

or using pip from PyPI::

pip install ldaptor

Linux distributions may also have ready packaged versions of Ldaptor and Twisted. Debian and Ubuntu have quality Ldaptor packages that can be installed e.g., by::

apt-get install python-ldaptor

To run the LDAP server (bind port 38942) from a repo checkout with the project installed::

twistd -n --pidfile=ldapserver.pid --logfile=ldapserver.log \
    -y test-ldapserver.tac
