[python-ldap] How do i know if bind was successful?

[Anurag Chourasia]

Hi Michael,

Also, the whoami_s works fine with MS ADAM but not with Apache Server
Studio. Here is a transcript for each one of those

*MS ADAM*
>>> result=l.bind(who,cred)
>>> l.result(result)
(97, [])
>>>
>>> l.whoami_s()
'dn:CN=anurag,OU=Appl Groups,OU=Central,OU=CL,DC=c.corp,O=App,C=US'

*
*
*Apache Server Studio*
>>> l.result(result)
(97, [])
>>> l.whoami_s()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\ldap\ldapobject.py", line 596, in
whoami_s

    return self._ldap_call(self._l.whoami_s,serverctrls,clientctrls)
  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\ldap\ldapobject.py", line 99, in
_ldap_call
    result = func(*args,**kwargs)
ldap.PROTOCOL_ERROR: {'info': 'Unrecognized extended operation
EXTENSION_OID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.4203.1.11.3', 'desc': 'Protocol error'}

Anurag
