bda.ldap 1.2.1

LDAP convenience library

LDAP convenience library with caching support
=============================================

This Package provides objects for LDAP communication. You probably be
interrested in the LDAPSession object.

>>> from bda.ldap.base import ONELEVEL
>>> from bda.ldap.session import LDAPSession
>>> from bda.ldap.properties import LDAPServerProperties

>>> props = LDAPServerProperties('localhost',
... 389,
... 'cn=user,dc=example,dc=com',
... 'secret')
>>> session = LDAPSession(props)
>>> res = session.search('(uid=*)', ONELEVEL)

LDAP Queries are cached by default. You can disable this via ``cache`` kw arg
when instanciating the properties obeject.

>>> props = LDAPServerProperties('localhost',
... 389,
... 'cn=user,dc=example,dc=com',
... 'secret',
... cache=False)
