As an LDAP admin for more than a decade.... this is nearly impossible to do without loosing generality [especially authentication; and I expect most applications implement an 'authentication' class anyway]. A search is a single method call, which seems pretty simple to me. Perhaps you should look at the ldaphelper module created by Butcher. <http://aleph-null.tv/article/20080125-1203-175.xml/ldaphelper% 3A-A-Python-Extension-Library-for-python-ldap> It simplifies a few things, at minimal expense. > PS: Sorry for the bad english. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
