right ? Did Ottavio Campana manage to have something working and did he publish the result of his modifications ?
Yes, I got something useful, it's going to be deployed soon but eventually I didn't come out with acls. Even though I have to say ldaptor fits well in my project and for some aspects I'm happier than with openldap.
Congrat ! Are you going to release the ldap code with an open source license ? I'm in discussion with Tommi about adding ACLs, would you be interested ? Beside, he told me ldaptor should be updated to work with the latest on twisted, something you've done already ?
I have a web application I wrote with twisted web. This application saves data in a sqlite file. Whenever the user modifies it from the web, the application updates also the files used by ldaptor, since what I need is only to export them with ldap.
Yes, more or less what I want to do (based on mysql instead of sqlite). What is the ldap client you use ? What is the ldap schema (my goal is to read it from a mail client)
It does not have acls, but I managed to get something similar by patching how the ldap server works. Moreover, to prevent corruption I modified how operations different from search behave.
What do you want to do?
Quite simply provide LDAP access (bind, search, unbind) on the contacts in a CRM (civicrm). I'm working for NGOs, and that's the easiest I found to provide access to the address book from within outlook/thunderbird/whatever mail client.
About doc: in ldaptor/protocols/ldap/ldapserver.py I found nearly everything I needed, give al look also to ldaptor/ldiftree.py to see how not to store everything in memory but in a filesystem. Also give a look at http://www.inoi.fi/open/trac/ldaptor/browser/trunk/test-ldapserver.tac
Thanks ! Why didn't you try fetching directly from the db instead of putting it in an intermediate file ?
I hope it is enough, I've been able to understand how it works from these files.
I hope too.
Bye,
Sorry for the delay, it took me a while to get in touch with tommi and move forward on how to work on that together. What is your application ? Is this something public ? X+
