You might also have hit the problem with automatic referral chasing within libldap as anonymous.
Try this to switch that off: l = ldap.initialize('ldap://<host>:389') l.set_option(ldap.OPT_REFERRALS,0) > try: > #l.simple_bind_s('first.l...@example.com', getpass.getpass()) > l.simple_bind_s('<place>\<shortname>', getpass.getpass()) > # Works > > except Exception, e: You should rather catch ldap.LDAPError here.
