web2ldap.py 0.6.4: WWW gateway for accessing LDAP servers

[Michael Ströder]

HI!

I would like to announce a new version of web2ldap (formerly known as
ldap-client-cgi.py), a full-featured LDAPv2 client written in Python
designed to run as a CGI-BIN under the control of a WWW server.

It's available for free (GPL) from

  http://www.web2ldap.de/

There's also a working demo there.

I would like to encourage people to give feedback about the usability
of this program.

Ciao, Michael.

Changes since 0.6.2:
- Some minor enhancements of user interface
- Fixed a basedn-related bug in smart login search
- Added automatically start of CGIHTTPServer.py
  if web2ldap.py is invoked from command-line
  (only Unix up to now).

Changes since 0.5.8:   
- enhanced user interface

Changes since 0.5.6:

- some code cleaning / bug fixing
- enhanced direct handling of UTF-8 input/output more
  conform to HTML4 standard
- new feature: for each host a dictionary with DNs as keys
  can be created to define the default objectclass
  and attribute for forming DNs for subordinate entries   
  (see example in cgi-bin/web2ldapcnf.py under host
  ldap.ms.inka.de). This is handy in situations where  
  unexperienced users have to add entries without knowing
  how to form a new DN.

Changes since 0.5.3:

- some code cleaning / bug fixing in login procedure
- some small performance enhancements
- direct output of UTF-8 if browser sends UTF-8 in
  HTTP_ACCEPTED_CHARSET (e.g. like Netscape Communicator 4.5x does)
- fixed problems with being too case sensitive in modify
- some small improvements in user interface
