In case you're programming for different LDAP servers it's good

I don't have anything other than user access. Good to know about this
feature, though.
You've been very helpful - I really appreciate it.
Can you recommend any favorite books

Hi, Michael,
Thanks very much for your response. I think I can work it out now.

Yes, sorry about that - doesn't always work on this email client :(
As an addendum, I discovered one little gotcha, namely that this:

Also I'd recommend to catch the ldap.LDAP
Title: RE: ldap usage
Looks like the top of my message got garbled
I was trying to say that I'm using ldap for the first time,
trying to write a script that authenticates a user against
our ldap server. etc. The rest came through.

Hi,
authenticates a user against our ldap server.: User types in name and
password, and module sees if name and password check out right with the
ldap server.
I see that it's pretty straightforward to do this with:
import ldap
l = ldap.open('our.ldap.server')
try:
l.
