LDAP-Hopper

LDAP-Hopper is a simplistic Python binding for accessing an LDAP Directory Information Tree(DIT).

#!/usr/bin/env python
from ldap_hopper import Cursor

# access the root-node
server = 'localhost'
base_dn = 'dc=example,dc=org'
bind_dn = 'cn=admin,dc=example,dc=org'
bind_pw = 'secret'
root = Cursor(server, base_dn, bind_dn, bind_pw)

# show attributes of root-node
print(root.attrs)

# get children of root
print(root.children)

# get subtree of root
print(root.subs)

# Filter uid objects from all subs
print(filter(lambda x: x['uid'], root.subs))

# add child node
new_child = {
    'objectClass': ['organizationalUnit'],
    'ou': ['padawans'],
}
new_node = root.add_child('ou=node_1,dc=example,dc=org', new_child)
new_node = root.add_child('ou=node_2', new_child)     # will auto-expand self.dn

print(new_node)

# search for an object
root.search('ou', new_node['ou'])    # no scope defaults to onelevel
root.search('ou', new_node['ou'], ldap.SCOPE_SUBTREE)    # default can be overwritten

# delete child node
node_1.delete()
