NDAP tutorial

NDAP tutorial
Thu, 08 Nov 2007 17:02:32 GMT
Until now I have been using for my day-to-day scripting needs the old
"Novell ADSI Provider for NDS" + vbscript. Therefore lately, I've been
having problems with it.

And now I am considering to jump into the combination: Python + NDAP. But still
the documentation for NDAP is quite obscure, there is only a short description
of each object, and the sample code in Visual Basic is hard to understand (no
comments at all).

Does anybody know of something better to learn NDAP? books, on-line tutorial.

Thanks a lot in advance,
Xavier Serra

Doing google searches on the varius ndap commands, especially group
searches, should give you some more concrete examples.
I've posted code,
Wolfgang Strieber has posted some very good code,
others have too.
Using the search engine to find examples is how I got from point a to point
b.  No promises they'll be specific to Python however.

From what I can tell, NDAP is currently in limbo.  It's not really supported
or encouraged, but they aren't really killing it either as there's nothing
out yet that does a good job of replacing the amazing functionality of the
NDAP activex controls.

Need to do volume stuff: NDAP Volume control.  Need to do Current Sessions
stuff, NDAP Sessions control.  Edirectory stuff, got a control for that too
....
And the adequate replacement is .....
