searching ldap by guid/uid
Hi I'm trying to search eDirectory by the guid/uid. My query would look something like this. (&(!(loginDisabled=True))(!(givenname=System))(|(guid=809c175abd1eda11bb4c003005470881))) When I try to decode the guid/uid into hex. I get a type error. ldap_result_id = l.search(searchBase, searchScope, searchFilter, retrieveAttributes) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ldap/ldapobject.py", line 478, in search return self.search_ext (base,scope,filterstr,attrlist,attrsonly,None,None) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ldap/ldapobject.py", line 470, in search_ext timeout,sizelimit, File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ldap/ldapobject.py", line 94, in _ldap_call result = func(*args,**kwargs) TypeError: argument 3 must be string without null bytes, not str I was wondering is it possible to search by a hex value?

Re: KeyError while performing 'ldapsearch' operation and processing the result data
Hi Guruprasad Had the same issue and someone was kind enough to point me in the right direction. Here's what I was told "A uid has to be changed into a legible format Chapter 3 of RFC 4515 (LDAPv3 filter strings) starts with: The string representation of an LDAP search filter is a string of UTF-8 [RFC3629] encoded Unicode characters [Unicode] [..] So please have a look at RFC 4515 to find out how to escape hex values in a search filter. Function ldap.filter.escape_filter_chars() is helpful for that."
