[python-win32] Sllllllllow ADSI

[Itamar S.-T.]

Hi,

I'm using ADSI to authenticate and get roles for users
in Zope. I have 3 functions, 1 to authenticate the
user, 1 to get the groups the user is in, and 1 to
check if the user exists, e.g.:

def userExists(username=""):
    """ Check if user exists """
    try:
        ensure_init() # make sure this thread has
CoInitialize() called.
        o = adsi.ADsGetObject("WinNT://Mainnt/%s" %
username)
        if str(o.Class) == 'User': return 1
    except:
        pass
    return 0

The problem is that this is very slow. It takes 30
seconds the first time it is called, (and the second
time 0.01 seconds). The ensure_init() function is not
responsible for this, I checked.

Any suggestions what I should do?
