That did the trick. It must be a bug in the older python-ldap code that Novell distributes with SLES 10. OpenLDAP 2.3.32 is already there, as well as SASL 2.1.21, so building python-ldap was easy. Since my organization has a support contract with Novell, I will open a support request and let them know of this issue.
In case anyone else runs into this, RPM complained about a missing dependency of "libldap.so.2". I'm not sure why, since I can see it in /usr/lib, but I just used the --nodeps parameter to force the install. I also relocated the files listed in the RPM from /usr/local/ lib to /usr/lib to replace the files supplied with SLES 10. rpm -Uvh --nodeps --relocate /usr/local/lib/python2.4/=/usr/lib/ python2.4/ python-ldap-2.3.1-0.i586.rpm Thanks Michael! Sorry to waste your time.
