LDAP Python 3 Demonstration Program
Overview
The program demonstrates how to do a simple LDAP search of the University of Hawaii LDAP service.
You must specify your Special DN and its password. The example run of the program used the 'filedrop' special DN, but the account values have been removed from the checked-in code.
The use of the special DN will also require the ability to pass through the UH firewall.
Technology
The program was developed on Apple Mac OS X 10.10.2, using python version 3.4.1, pip version 1.5.6, and the python3-ldap package version 0.9.7.
