Subject: [python-ldap] Need success response code in LDAP search request
Message-ID: <CAJeg=-fYJ6BvGGfuL1FNxc30tXbxZiGgmUFkfN7FZjPhyojshg@mail.gmail.com>

Hi Team,

Recently I got a chance to implement LDAP search functionality in python
and this library helped me alot.

I had to implement LDAP search functionality and while doing this
implementation I found that
*search_ext_st/search_s/search_ext()* all these methods do not return any
success response code.
though I got the correct results on the basis of filter_query passed to the
function.

Search functions return some msgid which is unique in every ldap search
request and passing this msgid to *result()* gives the result_type and
result_data whereas program got hung when msgid was passed to
*result3/result4()* method.

While exploring the code I found *ldap.OPT_SUCCESS* variable whose value is
0(I think this is success response code which should be present in
response of LDAP search).

I am wondering whether success response_code is not present in the ldap
search response or I am misunderstanding/missing something in received
response.

Please let me know how can I unblock myself.

Thanks & Regards,
Radhika Arora

Please ignore program hung up problem when msgid was passed to
result3/result4, I just noticed that default value of timeout is negative
in search_ext() in ldapobject.py
which says it will be blocked indefinitely.

Thanks,

Subject: [python-ldap] search output as ldif in a file
Message-ID: <CAFYhBNrVwVAVku8wrXkDb508PrNhzK=TxGjm=UucZ2emZpy1fA@mail.gmail.com>

Hi Folks,

Thanks in advance on helping me out

I am doing a bulk search and hoping to build a LDIF file with the results,
following is the code snippet

try:
    entries = lw_conn.extend.standard.paged_search(search_base=base_dn,

search_filter=lw_filter,
                                                           search_scope=SUBTREE,

attributes=retrive_attrs,
                                                           paged_size=page_size,
                                                           generator=True)
except Exception as e:
    sys.exit("Search failed: %s" % e)

ldif_writer = LDIFWriter(open(args.write,'wb'), base64_attrs=None, cols=160)
for entry in entries:
    entry['raw_attributes'].pop('nTSecurityDescriptor')
    ldif_writer.unparse(entry['dn'], entry['raw_attributes'])


Getting the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./ldap_export.py", line 111, in <module>
    ldif_writer.unparse(entry['dn'], entry['attributes'])
  File
"/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/lib/python3.7/site-packages/ldif3.py",
line 199, in unparse
    raise ValueError("Argument record must be dictionary or list")
ValueError: Argument record must be dictionary or list

Tried converting entry['attributes'] into a dictionary, with that LDIFWrite
worked but all the attributes got encoded in base64, base64_attrs=None
didn't help

cn:: VmlrcmFtIE4gUw==

Thanks,
Vikram

Subject: [python-ldap] Unable to do basic search in LDAP
Message-ID: <706B8350-F6A3-4AF7-B7B7-7CA44E9159D5@gmail.com>

Hey all,
I have a decent understanding of python and have been attempting to do some basic LDAP searches on some open servers. However, I continually get the error {?desc?: u?No such object?}.

I looked up some online sites, but none of them offered a working solution. I was hoping one of you guys could give me a hand.
import ldap




keyword = "boyle"
def main():
    server = "ldap.forumsys.com"
    who = "cn=read-only-admin,dc=example,dc=com"
    cred = "password"

    try:
        l = ldap.open(server)
        l.simple_bind_s(who,cred)
        print "Bound to server Boyx"
        l.protocol_version = ldap.VERSION3
        print "Seaching"
        mysearch (l,keyword)

    except ldap.LDAPError:
        print "Couldnt connect"

def mysearch(l, keyword):
    base = ""
    scope = ldap.SCOPE_SUBTREE
    filter = "cn=" + "*" + keyword + "*"

    retrieve_attributes = None

    count = 0
    result_set = []
    timeout = 0

    try:
        result_id = l.search(base,scope,filter, retrieve_attributes)

        while l != 1:
            result_type, result_data = l.result(result_id, timeout)
            if (result_data == []):
                break
            else:
                if result_type == ldap.RES_SEARCH_ENTRY:
                    result_set.append(result_data)
        if len (result_set = 0):
            print "No Results"

        for i in range (len(result_set)):
            for entry in result_set[i]:
                try:
                    name = entry[1]['cn'][0]
                    mail = entry[1]['mail'][0]
                    #phone = entry[1]['telephonenumber'][0]
                    #desc = entry[1]['description'][0]
                    count = count + 1
                    print name + mail
                    print"Its working"
                except:
                    pass
    except ldap.LDAPError, error_message:
        print error_message

main()


I am using Python 2.7 as well.
Thank you so much for your time, and I would appreciate it if you could provide some aid.
