I am trying to use e.g. the search_s
function to search for an object based on its full distinguished name, but am not finding this to be convenient. For example,
search_s('DC=example, DC=com', ldap.SCOPE_SUBTREE,
'(CN=Somebody, OU=Department, DC=example, DC=com)')
How do I just retrieve one object based on its full LDAP distinguished name?
Use SCOPE_BASE
and a wildcard filter to return only the dn given by the first argument (the filter still has to match that object!) For example,
import ldap
...
ldap_connection.search_s('CN=Somebody, OU=Department, DC=example, DC=com',
ldap.SCOPE_BASE,
'(objectClass=*)')
