Can Luma do sasl binds?
I am running a kerbolized ldap server and have been looking a a tool to let users change there entries.
It would be fun if users could automaticly login into this tool (using there kerberos ticket) and be presented a screen containing there properties. (the ones they are allowed to change that is.)
Yes, Luma supports SASL authentification and encryption. You just have to select SASL/GSSAPI in your server settings in order to connect to your 'kerberosized' ldap server.
But beware that your installation of python-ldap has to be built with SASL support.
What do you mean with properties? If you mean attributes and their values, this is defined by by the ACL settings of your server. Luma (and possibly no other LDAP tool) doesn't know these settings. There might be cases where an attribute is read-only, but only trying to write a new value will result in an error.
But perhaps this is not what you mean. Just try it out and see for yourself :)
Yes, Luma is a LDAP client. You can browse entries, do searche queries etc. Just like GQ. But there are way more features/plugins.
Connecting to the server can be done anonymously or authenticated. Just try it yourself.
When running the luma script I received the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./luma", line 17, in ?
import environment
File "./../lib/luma/environment/__init__.py", line 13, in ?
from sets import Set
ImportError: No module named sets
Any idea why?
Currently I'm writing a plugin for creating/managing single users. But since I don't know much about samba users, I can't implement this. Maybe someone can help me with that.
But support for creating samba passwords is already included in the admin-utilities-plugin.

Great app i love it. cheers M
hi nice tool :-) 1. can i move branches like in gq? 2. can i rename entry (DN)? 3. how can i add an entry? thanks
Anybody with an AMD64 & 64 bit OS tried this? I use Gentoo...portage says no amd64 support.
well, it appears to work...
Anybody experiences this? Tried different download servers in US and Europe.
See the top of the description. Sourceforge seems to have problems with its mirrors. For now you can get the tarball form my university homepage: http://home.tu-clausthal.de/~ifwd/luma/luma-2.0.tar.bz2
Thanks!

So is it safe to say this an ldap client cause I've been searching for one of thoose for a while. Also can I use this with anonymous bind queries?

Hey thanks this is a great tool and fits nearly all my needs and the best of all it looks great!

I think you don't have Python 2.3 installed. Please have a look at http://luma.sourceforge.net/download.html to see which dependecies have to be met, in order to run Luma. If you have further troubles, please use the mailing-lists: http://luma.sourceforge.net/contact.html
Haven't tried but sounds great. Maybe we can have a tool for administration of samba users on LDAP database.
Currently I'm writing a plugin for creating/managing single users. But since I don't know much about samba users, I can't implement this. Maybe someone can help me with that. But support for creating samba passwords is already included in the admin-utilities-plugin.
