basically saying they now require authentication. you just need to
determine what credentials have been setup to allow whatev er task it
is you want to accomplish, then specify them inside your python-ldap
program. something similar to:

                l=ldap.initialize("ldap://your.server.com")
                l.bind('cn=the_cn_you_use,dc=server,dc=com', 'password')

change 'cn' to 'uid' or whatever it is that your bind requires. set
that to a user which has permissions to do whatever it is you are
trying to do, simple searches, modifying entries, etc.
