Authenticating against active directory using python + ldap
I was missing
l.set_option(ldap.OPT_REFERRALS, 0)From the init.
If you are open to using pywin32, you can use Win32 calls from Python. This is what we do in our CherryPy web server:
import win32securitytoken = win32security.LogonUser( username, domain, password, win32security.LOGON32_LOGON_NETWORK, win32security.LOGON32_PROVIDER_DEFAULT)authenticated = bool(token)
That worked for me, l.set_option(ldap.OPT_REFERRALS, 0) was the key to access the ActiveDirectory. Moreover, I think that you should add an "con.unbind()" in order to close the connection before finishing the script.
