Thank You Anthony, I think your solution is what I'm looking for, I don't want to use a service account ( for tracing and maintainability reason) since the phase 2 that add editing capabilities will provide mostly for admin tasks and we want to have a trace that let us identify the user that did this modifications Thanks Richard, I mainly wanted to know how to access those values from outside the auth module itself. Thanks Niphlod for your time. I read the auth ldap module and I knew it was using python-ldap, I'm not familiar with web2py and I couldn't identify the recommend way to access either user information provided during login or the connection created while trying to authenticate the user. I never tried to extract those directly from ldap. I'll mark this post as complete on Anthony's answer, thanks for your help.
