Hi all! Me and a workmate are currently working in an approach of
connecting to different LDAP servers (each one is a replica of another)
because of fault tolerancy purposes.
So, first thing we did was modifying the *__init__* method of
SimpleLDAPObject class (ldapobject.py file) adding a new attribute
"pool" which contains the list of servers passed as param in
*initialize* method as a string. So, attribute .*_l *changes to:
self._l =
ldap.functions._ldap_function_call(_ldap.initialize,self._pool[0])
Then, in *_ldap_call *we introduced a /while/ loop surrounding all code
with a boolean condition set to False. When *"func"* call fails raising
a "SERVER_DOWN" exception, we remove URI from pool and create a new
ReconnectLDAPObject instance with self._l attribute pointing to next
LDAP URI in pool.
The problem we're actually facing is that when *func *calls raises a
SERVER_DOWN exception (with, for example, a *search_s* operation) the
code behaviour is correct when URI is wrong, but when LDAP URI is right
the func calls stills raises an exception...Is this because of what is
explained in the beginning of ReconnectLDAPObject class (that
synchronous methods like search_s() automatically tries to reconnect
when LDAP server is down)?.
Are we pointing in the right direction?
Thanks a lot in advance.
