First off, hello everyone.
I am working on some software that uses python-ldap that is trying to
connect to an ldaps server. If I do this sequence
import ldap
ldap.set_option(ldap.OPT_X_TLS_CACERTFILE, '/path/to/cert')
conn = ldap.initialize('ldaps://server')
conn.simple_bind_s('uid', 'pass')
things work fine. But if I do it like this
import ldap
conn = ldap.initialize('ldaps://server')
conn.set_option(ldap.OPT_X_TLS_CACERTFILE, '/path/to/cert')
conn.simple_bind_s('uid', 'pass')
then I get an error saying that it can't contact the server. I am
guessing it just can't verify the server's ssl certificate and just
saying it can't contact the server. But it appears that if I set the
option on the ldap module it works but setting the option on the
individual connection doesn't.
Is this expected behavior? Is this a restriction of the underlying
openldap client libraries? Or a bug that could use some attention? I am
wanting to get it so that the options are on the connections so that I
could do multiple connections with different options. Thanks for any
help in advance.
