s.Ldb(_Ldb) : class documentation

Known subclasses: samba.idmap.IDmapDB, samba.samdb.SamDB

Simple Samba-specific LDB subclass that takes care of setting up the modules dir, credentials pointers, etc.

Please note that this is intended to be for all Samba LDB files, not necessarily the Sam database. For Sam-specific helper functions see samdb.py.

Method	__init__	Opens a Samba Ldb file.
Method	searchone	Search for one attribute as a string.
Method	erase_users_computers	Erases user and computer objects from our AD.
Method	erase_except_schema_controlled	Erase this ldb.
Method	erase	Erase this ldb, removing all records.
Method	load_ldif_file_add	Load a LDIF file.
Method	add_ldif	Add data based on a LDIF string.
Method	modify_ldif	Modify database based on a LDIF string.

def __init__(self, url=None, lp=None, modules_dir=None, session_info=None, credentials=None, flags=0, options=None):

overridden in samba.idmap.IDmapDB, samba.samdb.SamDB

Opens a Samba Ldb file.

This is different from a regular Ldb file in that the Samba-specific modules-dir is used by default and that credentials and session_info can be passed through (required by some modules).

Parameters	url	Optional LDB URL to open
	lp	Optional loadparm object
	modules_dir	Optional modules directory
	session_info	Optional session information
	credentials	Optional credentials, defaults to anonymous.
	flags	Optional LDB flags
	options	Additional options (optional)

def searchone(self, attribute, basedn=None, expression=None, scope=ldb.SCOPE_BASE):

Search for one attribute as a string.

Parameters	basedn	BaseDN for the search.
	attribute	Name of the attribute
	expression	Optional search expression.
	scope	Search scope (defaults to base).
Returns	Value of attribute as a string or None if it wasn't found.

def erase_users_computers(self, dn):

Erases user and computer objects from our AD.

This is needed since the 'samldb' module denies the deletion of primary groups. Therefore all groups shouldn't be primary somewhere anymore.

def erase_except_schema_controlled(self):

Erase this ldb.

Note Removes all records, except those that are controlled by Samba4's schema.

def erase(self):

Erase this ldb, removing all records.

def load_ldif_file_add(self, ldif_path):

Load a LDIF file.

Parameters ldif_path Path to LDIF file.

def add_ldif(self, ldif, controls=None):

Add data based on a LDIF string.

Parameters ldif LDIF text.

def modify_ldif(self, ldif, controls=None):

Modify database based on a LDIF string.

Parameters ldif LDIF text.
