Python LDB authentication via LDAP

[William Brown]

Hi,

I'm currently looking into writing some small python scripts to edit user information in samba4. I have been reading the C code for ldb, but am not quite sure how it authenticates to an ldap backend when used remotely. Any information on how to do this in python would be much appreciated. When used on the domain controller machine, which file should ldb be opening to edit the users partition? 

Sincerely,

William Brown
