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? Script starts: 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 Script ends. I am clueless as to what is causing this problem. Following error i have encountered : An error was encountered while publishing this resource. Error Type: Unauthorized Error Value: You are not allowed to access open in this context Troubleshooting Suggestions The URL may be incorrect. The parameters passed to this resource may be incorrect.
