Parsing DN, attributes from LDAP URL in Python

Question

I have an URL "ldap://ldap.infonotary.com/dc=identity-ca,dc=infonotary,dc=com"

I wanted to get the LDAP DN and attributes from this URL using ldap3 library in python3. If I pass the whole URL to a class, I should be able to get DN, attributes from its functions. Also I should get hostname, extensions, port.

Answer 1

Function ldap3.utils.uri.parse_uri() is your friend which returns a dictionary with the URL components:

>>> import ldap3.utils.uri    
>>> ldap3.utils.uri.parse_uri('ldap://ldap.infonotary.com/dc=identity-ca%2cdc=infonotary%2cdc=com')['base']
'dc=identity-ca,dc=infonotary,dc=com'
