Hi, I'm working on simple frontend for managing some user information in LDAP using Zope (Plone exactly). In this fronted different ousers should be able do bind to my LDAP server using different dn and creditentials. The only way to do it seems to be writing a set of python scripts. I wrote such scripts in python and they work's fine. But uder Zope there is a problem. I can't in any way bind to ldap server. All tries effect in hanging Zope process. Exemplary scripts (used as Zope External Method): def ldap_connection(): try: import ldap l1 = ldap.initialize('ldap://ldapserver') l1.simple_bind('cn=user,dc=xxxxx','password') out = 1 except: out = -1 return out Executing simple_bind hangs the Zope process. I supposed that there is a problem with Zope security. Is there any way to use python-ldap under zope? Similar problem is in LDAP Connection object (from latest ZopeLDAP product). Everything works fine until I try some its "low level" methods (such as manage_close()). Effect: killed zope server process. Of course all creds for LDAP connection are correct and LDAP server is accessible (and working). The system is Debian with Zope-2.6.2-2, python2.2-ldap-1.9.999.pre13-1 and zope-ldap-1.1.0-3.
