How to handle authentication without user password in ldap tree

[the2nd]

i'm trying to implement an read-only ldap server for OTPme (https://www.otpme.org/) using ldaptor and as OTPme focus on OTPs i dont want to add a static password (attribute) to the ldap tree. instead it would be great to get the username/OTP from ldaptor for verification.

is there any interface in ldaptor for this?

ok, i figured it out myself. :)

for everyone who wants to do the same. you just have to add a bind() method to your "db" class. an example bind() method can be found in entry.py (BaseLDAPEntry()).

I take it you have looked at the examples?
https://ldaptor.readthedocs.org/en/stable/

There aren't many there, but we could always do for more.

I think that this can be closed.

The "acting" code is here :

ldaptor/ldaptor/protocols/ldap/ldapserver.py

Line 169 in cf23b3e

d = entry.bind(auth)

The server is searching for the entry and then calling the bind method on that LDAP entry.

Thanks for the info
