Object Oriented Python LDAP

Using the python-ldap library: http://www.python-ldap.org/

Provides the foundation for manipulating ldap taking a highly object oriented approach.

Use the provided object types, override them, or create your own.

Add the three following environmental variables:

• LDAP_CONNECTION_URI
• LDAP_CONNECTION_DN
• LDAP_CONNECTION_PASSWORD

Here is an example:

import os


os.environ['LDAP_CONNECTION_URI'] = 'example.com'
os.environ['LDAP_CONNECTION_DN'] = 'CN=<username>,OU=People,DC=EXAMPLE,DC=COM'
os.environ['LDAP_CONNECTION_PASSWORD'] = '<password>'


from ooldap.foundation import LDAPObject


ldapobject = LDAPObject('CN=johndoe,OU=People,DC=EXAMPLE,DC=COM')

ldapobject.data
ldapobject.description
ldapobject.get_attribute('mail')
