[Tutor] Accessing LDAP

[Steven L Smith]

Hmmm... well, that worked, and the previous code snippet worked in interactive mode too... maybe there's something wrong with the user that IIS is running under?  How would I give it the proper permissions?

Ok, then you best stick to Tim's module.

Are you running your script from a workstation or server in the forest?

What I always try first in interactive mode is the following:

import active_directory

ad = active_directory.AD()
print ad

That should already show you if you can connect to AD or not.
