An example of a Python LDAP lookup, Python 2.x. This one uses the on-campus LDAP service at UC Davis, so just change the LDAPServer and searchBase for another LDAP server.
import ldap def LDAPLookup(name='', uid=''): """ Simple LDAP Lookup """ LDAPServer = 'ldap.ucdavis.edu' searchBase = 'ou=People,dc=ucdavis,dc=edu' searchScope = ldap.SCOPE_SUBTREE if name == '': searchName = 'uid=%s' % uid else: searchName = 'cn=*%s*' % name fieldList = ['uid','cn','mail','title','telephoneNumber','ou'] users = [] l = ldap.open(LDAPServer) l.simple_bind_s() # synchronous bind with no parameters = anonymous ldap_result_id = l.search(searchBase, searchScope, searchName, fieldList) while 1: result_type, result_data = l.result(ldap_result_id,0) if (result_data == []): break else: for item in result_data: users.append(item[1]) return users print LDAPLookup(name='geoff')
Or you can print the results a little more nicely:
LDAPResult = LDAPLookup(name='geoff') for person in LDAPResult: for key in person: print key, 'is', person[key] print 'n'
