Hm...without SASL is there any other way to perform secure LDAP
authentication using Python-ldap?

My goal is to find a way in Python to securely authenticate against
an Active Directory. The user will enter their username/password into a
PythonCard GUI and then Python will try that username and password
against the Active Directory.  It would be even better if the
script could obtain a Kerberos ticket, so the ticket could be passed
to a server app for inspection. That way, the server app could trust
that the client is who it claims to be.  However, Kerberos programming
is a bit above my head right now, so for now secure LDAP authentication
would be nice. If anyone on this list is interested in a consulting
gig to help me figure this out, please contact me off-list.
