Hi all, I am trying to access openLDAP server from a python script inside CMF site of Zope. I have python-ldap module installed on a linux machine. My final intention is to Add an LDAP entry in to LDAP server. Following code i have written in a python script just to get started by connecting to LDAP server and accessing the existing contents. My approach to add an entry from python script is correct or its bound to fail? import ldap ldapCon = ldap.open("localhost") ldapCon.simple_bind_s("cn=Manager,o=Lambent","secret"); print ldapCon.search_s("ou=HR,o=Lambent",ldap.SCOPE_SUBTREE,"objectclass=*") return printed During this attempt following error occured : Error Value: You are not allowed to access open in this context Then someone provided a link in which there was a solution for this error. In that the solution was to add a new directory in Products folder of Zope. Add a new python script __init_.py containing following code : # Global module assertions for Python scripts from Products.PythonScripts.Utility import allow_module allow_module('ldap') allow_module('ldap.async') allow_module('ldap.modlist') allow_module('ldif') allow_module('ldapurl') After adding above script, and keeping the python script as it is i got following error. import ldap ldapCon = ldap.open("localhost") ldapCon.simple_bind_s("cn=Manager,o=Lambent","secret"); print ldapCon.search_s("ou=HR,o=Lambent",ldap.SCOPE_SUBTREE,"objectclass=*") return printed Site Error An error was encountered while publishing this resource. Error Type: Unauthorized Error Value: You are not allowed to access simple_bind_s in this context Troubleshooting Suggestions The URL may be incorrect. The parameters passed to this resource may be incorrect. A resource that this resource relies on may be encountering an error.
