Chris/all, as requested by ChrisW def auth_LDAP(self,cn=None,pwd=None): if cn==None or pwd==None: return None l=ldap.open('medico.uwcm.ac.uk') cn='cn='+cn l.search_s('',ldap.SCOPE_SUBTREE,cn) # this is where it fails res=l.result() auth=[res[1][0][0],pwd] l.simple_bind_s(auth[0],auth[1]) l.unbind_s() return 1 It's basically trying to : 1. do an anonymous bind to an LDAP server to find the dn of a particular user 2. take the dn returned and then try to authenticate that user but it don't get that far. (I know there is no error trapping etc. I took it out to see what exactly was happening.) It always fails on the l.search_s, the cn and the pwd are returned from a form (actually the login form of LoginManager). I know the function works when not called from Zope but I really can't see how that could possibly matter. Any ideas?

Hi all,
Anyone got any idea what this means:
argument 1: expected string without null bytes, string found
The line throwing this error and the declaration line of the function being called would be handy...
cheers,
Chris
