I'm still stuck on this, which means the Mac client of my app
is dead in the water. I was able to get AD authentication working
on Windows using win23com.client, which of course doesn't exist for Mac.
Because of the difficulty in getting python-ldap to build on Mac OS 10.4
(nobody on that mailing list has responded to my plea for help), I'm
just about ready to give up on that approach. That leaves me with
finding and hiring a Mac programmer who knows something about AD or LDAP, or
using subprocess.py to call Apple's built-in OpenLDAP (which seems
like an awkward approach).
At this point, all I'm trying to do is get the client GUI app to
authenticate with AD.
