Python - LDAP

Using the Python LDAP Module

Search

The searches are made by binding anonymously.

#!/usr/bin/env python

#---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

import sys
import ldap

#---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

l = ldap.initialize("ldap://hx30:6389")

l.simple_bind_s("","")

base_dn = "ou=people,dc=auspost,dc=com"
filter  = "(&(objectclass=auspostuser)(uid=svt*))"

rows = l.search_s(base_dn, ldap.SCOPE_SUBTREE, filter)

print "Returned -> %d rows" % len(rows)

for row in rows:
   print row

   col0 = row[0].split(', ')[0]

   uid  = col0.split(',')[0].split('=')[1]
   type = col0.split(',')[1].split('=')[1]

   if row[1].has_key('groups'):
      group = row[1]['groups'][0].split(',')[0].split('=')[1]
   else:
      group = ''

   print "%s,%s,%s" % (uid, type, group)
