py-ldap question

[Laszlo Nagy]

 Hello,

I'm using the ldap module under Windows. This is the error that I get:

import ldap
l = ldap.initialize("ldaps://neptunus.msnet:636")
l.simple_bind_s("cn=gandalf,ou=Users,dc=neptunus,dc=msnet","gandalf")
l.search_s("ou=AddressBooks,dc=neptunus,dc=msnet", ldap.SCOPE_SUBTREE, 
"objectclass=inetOrgPerson")


Traceback (most recent call last):
  File 
"T:\developer20\knowledgebase\FreeBSD\Thunderbird_OpenLDAP_AddressBook\working\05\example.py", 
line 3, in ?
    l.simple_bind_s("cn=gandalf,ou=Users,dc=neptunus,dc=msnet","gandalf")
  File "C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\ldap\ldapobject.py", line 175, in

    msgid = self.simple_bind(who,cred,serverctrls,clientctrls)
  File "C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\ldap\ldapobject.py", line 169, in 
simple_bind
    return 
self._ldap_call(self._l.simple_bind,who,cred,serverctrls,clientctrls)

  File "C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\ldap\ldapobject.py", line 94, in 
_ldap_call
    result = func(*args,**kwargs)
ldap.SERVER_DOWN: {'info': 'error:14090086:SSL 
routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed', 'desc': 
"Can't contact LDAP server"}

I think that I need to specify to the openldap client to trust the 
server's certificate. The problem is that the ldap module bundles the 
openldap-client implementation, and there is no ldap.conf file (or at 
least I cannot find it). So how can I configure it to trust my server's 
certificate?

Thanks,
