Glad to hear my posting helped somebody. In our case, our domain controller was passing us referrals to the Configuration, ForestDNSZones, and DomainDNSZones partitions of the directory when we were doing SCOPE_SUBTREE scoped searches from the root DN of an AD domain. When python-ldap tried to chase those referrals it did so with an anonymous bind, hence the error. Once we turned off the OPT_REFERRALS option, our only other consideration was to be sure that, when iterating over our search results, we just scrubbed out the referrals that were returned (based on the referrals being lists and the real search results being dictionaries). This is a bit quick and dirty, perhaps, but it's what did the trick for us. Evan -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
