well these are my 2 cases :
*with python-ldap *: so in this case it works even though the object i am
passing has unicode characters in it's distinguished name
eg: CN=Sen-po 胡æ£(R)å?š
(senpo),OU=Users,OU=TPE,OU=Offices,DC=corp,DC=google,DC=com
i can print the distinguished name without encoding it in utf-8 format and
also remove or add this user to a group.
import ldap
ldap.set_option(ldap.OPT_REFERRALS, 0)
group_dn = "CN=sysops,OU=LDAPGroups,DC=corp,DC=google,DC=com"
user = 'CN=goadmin sgadekal,OU=Users,OU=Administration,DC=corp,DC=
google,DC=com'
l = ldap.open("192.168.100.1")
l.protocol_version = ldap.VERSION3
l.simple_bind_s(who=user,cred=r'*****')
baseDN = 'dc=corp,dc=google,dc=com'
searchScope = ldap.SCOPE_SUBTREE
retrieveAttributes = ['cn','samaccountname','distinguishedname']
searchFilter = "(&(objectclass=*)(samaccountname=senpo))"
ldap_result_id = l.search_ext(baseDN, searchScope, searchFilter,
retrieveAttributes,sizelimit=1000)
result_type, result_data = l.result(ldap_result_id, 0)
if (result_type == ldap.RES_SEARCH_ENTRY):
user_dn = result_data[0][1]['distinguishedName'][0]
modlist = []
modlist.append((ldap.MOD_ADD,"member",user_dn))
try:
l.modify_s(group_dn,modlist)
except:
print "user not added"
*with Win32com.client:*
The Same thing when i try to do it with "win32com.client module" using
"adsi" i cannot print the distinguished name of the user without first
encoding in utf-8 format and even if i do this i cannot add or remove user
from a group it throws a error .
import win32com.client
from win32com.client import *
conn = Dispatch('ADODB.Connection')
conn.Open("Provider=ADSDSOObject")
search =
"<LDAP://dc=corp,dc=google,dc=com>;(&(ObjectClass=*)(sAMAccountName=senpo));cn,distinguishedname;subtree"
record_set = conn.Execute(search)[0]
dn = record_set.Fields("distinguishedName").value
dn = dn.encode('utf-8')
adsi = win32com.client.Dispatch('AdsNameSpaces')
ldap = adsi.getobject("","LDAP:")
logon_ex = "CN=goadmin
sgadekal,OU=Users,OU=Administration,DC=corp,DC=google,DC=com"
passwd = "*******"
ex_path = "LDAP://
192.168.100.1/CN=sysops,OU=LDAPGroups,DC=corp,DC=google,DC=com"
myDSObject = ldap.OpenDSObject(ex_path,logon_ex,passwd,0)
myDSObject.Getinfo()
list_member = dn
print dn
append_list=[list_member]
myDSObject.putEx(3,'Member',append_list)
myDSObject.Setinfo()
Can you let me know how exactly is this happening in python ldap and how is
it able to add and remove accounts with unicode characters.
It will be really helpfull for me to know it.
