LDAP query using Python: always no result
- by Grey
I am trying to use python to query LDAP server, and it always returns me no result. and anyone help me find what wrong with my python code? it runs fine without excpetions, and it always has no result. i played around with the filter like "cn=partofmyname" but just no luck.
thanks for help
import ldap
try:
l = ldap.open("server")
l.protocol_version = ldap.VERSION3
l.set_option(ldap.OPT_REFERRALS, 0)
output =l.simple_bind("cn=username,cn=Users,dc=domian, dc=net",'password$R')
print output
except ldap.LDAPError, e:
print e
baseDN = "DC=rim,DC=net"
searchScope = ldap.SCOPE_SUBTREE
## retrieve all attributes - again adjust to your needs - see documentation for more options
retrieveAttributes = None
Filter = "(&(objectClass=user)(sAMAccountName=myaccount))"
try:
ldap_result_id = l.search(baseDN, searchScope, Filter, retrieveAttributes)
print ldap_result_id
result_set = []
while 1:
result_type, result_data = l.result(ldap_result_id, 0)
if len(result_data) == 0:
print 'no reslut'
break
else:
for i in range(len(result_set)):
for entry in result_set[i]:
try:
name = entry[1]['cn'][0]
email = entry[1]['mail'][0]
phone = entry[1]['telephonenumber'][0]
desc = entry[1]['description'][0]
count = count + 1
print "%d.\nName: %s\nDescription: %s\nE-mail: %s\nPhone: %s\n" %\
(count, name, desc, email, phone)
except:
pass
## here you don't have to append to a list
## you could do whatever you want with the individual entry
#if result_type == ldap.RES_SEARCH_ENTRY:
# result_set.append(result_data)
# print result_set
except ldap.LDAPError, e:
print e
l.unbind()
