I am attempting to use python-ldap to connect to our company ldap server. I have downloaded and installed python-ldap 2.3.2 on my Ubuntu system and have been working through the "LDAP Programming with Python" documentation. I am confused because the documentation states that "After an LDAP object is created and before any other operations can be attempted over the connection, a bind operation must be performed" (p7), but in the example in section 1.1.5, it shows using the ldap.initialize() statement then a search_s() statement; with no bind(). I've keep getting a "Can't contact LDAP server" error when running in iPython, but I can hit the LDAP server using PHP.
Do I need to run a bind statement of some sort after initialize()? Thanks, --greg
