There are two ways to work around this; the Ldb() constructor also
accepts optional arguments with credentials and lp_ctx. If you don't
specify the URL to Ldb() it will create an unconnected Ldb object, that
you can then afterwards connect using handle.connect(url).

See also the API docs at

minschema.py seems to already use the credentials specified on the
command-line though. Did you try specifying them that way?

HTH,
