python-slapd's Introduction

python-slapd

Controls your OpenLDAP process in a pythonic way.

pip install slapd

>>> import slapd
>>> process = slapd.Slapd()
>>> process.start()
>>> process.init_tree()
>>> process.ldapwhoami().stdout.decode("utf-8")
'dn:cn=manager,dc=slapd-test,dc=python-ldap,dc=org\n'
>>> process.stop()

Troubleshooting

On distributions like Ubuntu, apparmor may restrict slapd to access some files that python-slapd has generated. This situation can be solved by passing slapd in complain mode:

sudo apt install --yes apparmor-utils
sudo aa-complain /usr/sbin/slapd
