LDAPperatessa

LDAPperatessa is a Python library designed for interacting with Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) servers. It aims to simplify the process of performing common LDAP operations such as connecting to a directory, searching for entries, adding new entries, modifying existing ones, and deleting entries. The library provides a high-level interface that abstracts away many of the complexities inherent in direct LDAP protocol interactions.

The primary goal of LDAPperatessa is to offer an intuitive and Pythonic way to manage LDAP data. It supports various authentication methods commonly used with LDAP, including simple bind (username and password) and others. For searching, it allows users to specify search bases, filters, and scopes to retrieve specific information from the directory. The library also facilitates the creation, modification, and deletion of LDAP entries through straightforward function calls.

LDAPperatessa is built upon existing lower-level LDAP libraries, providing a more user-friendly layer on top. This approach allows developers to leverage the robust functionality of the underlying protocol without needing to delve into the intricate details of the LDAP protocol itself. Its design emphasizes ease of use for common tasks, making it a suitable choice for applications that require integration with LDAP directories for user authentication, configuration management, or data storage.
