[Samba] Using samba-python to query AD? Status of API?

[mathias dufresne]

Hi,

Once you have installed Samba to be able to run it as Active Directory you
would have samba-tool available.

# which samba-tool
/usr/bin/samba-tool
# file /usr/bin/samba-tool
/usr/bin/samba-tool: Python script, ASCII text executable
# locate ldapcmp.py
/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/samba/netcmd/ldapcmp.py
/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/samba/netcmd/ldapcmp.pyc
/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/samba/netcmd/ldapcmp.pyo
# file /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/samba/netcmd/ldapcmp.py
/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/samba/netcmd/ldapcmp.py: Python script,
ASCII text executable

I gave the commands because they help to find where are really these files.
They could be in some other directory on your system.
There are a lot of other (python) files in there.

Hoping this helps.

Kindly regards,

mathias
