python-ldap unable to do any basic search queries on open server

I have been trying to do some basic search queries, but I am unable to connect to an open LDAP server regardless. I tried a couple of servers, and none of them worked. I used Apache Directory Studio to make sure that the keyword was there but it did not work either way. I tried a variety of different code from different sources.
This was the first one I used
:
https://www.linuxjournal.com/article/6988
import ldap
keyword = "boyle"
def main():
server = "ldap.forumsys.com"
username = "cn=read-only-admin,dc=example,dc=com"
password = "password"
try:
l = ldap.open(server)
l.simple_bind_s(username,password)
print "Bound to server . . . "
l.protocol_version = ldap.VERSION3
print "Searching . . ."
mysearch (l,keyword)
except ldap.LDAPError:
print "Couldnt connect"
def mysearch(l, keyword):
base = ""
scope = ldap.SCOPE_SUBTREE
filter = "cn=" + "*" + keyword + "*"
retrieve_attributes = None
count = 0
result_set = []
timeout = 0
try:
result_id = l.search(base, scope, filter, retrieve_attributes)
while l != 1:
result_id = l.search(base, scope,filter, retrieve_attributes)
result_type, result_data = l.result(result_id, timeout)
if result_data == []:
break
else:
if result_type == ldap.RES_SEARCH_ENTRY:
result_set.append(result_data)
if len (result_set = 0):
print "No Results"
for i in range (len(result_set)):
for entry in result_set[i]:
try:
name = entry[1]['cn'][0]
mail = entry[1]['mail'][0]
#phone = entry[1]['telephonenumber'][0]
#desc = entry[1]['description'][0]
count = count + 1
print name + mail
except:
pass
except ldap.LDAPError, error_message:
print error_message
main()
Every time I ran this program, I received an error
{'desc': u"No such object"}
I also tried this
import ldap
try:
l = ldap.open("ldap.example.com")
except ldap.LDAPError, e:
print e
base_dn = "cn=read-only-admin,dc=example,dc=com"
search_scope = ldap.SCOPE_SUBTREE
retrieve_attributes = None
search_filter = "uid=myuid"
try:
l_search = l.search(base_dn, search_scope, search_filter, retrieve_attributes)
result_status, result_data = l.result(l_search, 0)
print result_data
except ldap.LDAPError, e:
print e
The error on this one was
{'desc': u"Can't contact LDAP server"}
I spent about 5 hours trying to figure this out. I would really appreciate it if you guys could give me some advice. Thanks.

There are several bogus things in there.
I will only comment your first code sample because it can be used by anyone with that public LDAP server.
l = ldap.open(server)
Function ldap.open() is deprecated since many years. You should use function ldap.initialize() with LDAP URI as argument instead like this:
l = ldap.initialize("ldap://ldap.forumsys.com")
l_search = l.search(..)
This is the asynchronous method which just returns a message ID (int) of the underlying OpenLDAP C API (libldap). It's needed if you want to retrieve extended controls returned by the LDAP server along with search results. Is that what you want?
As a beginner you probably want to use the simpler method LDAPObject.search_s() which immediately returns a list of (DN, entry) 2-tuples.
See also: python-ldap -- Sending LDAP requests
while l != 1
This does not make sense at all because l is your LDAPObject instance (LDAP connection object). Note that LDAPObject.search() would raise an exception if it gets an Integer error code from OpenLDAP's libldap. No need to do C-style error checks at this level.
filter = "cn=" + "" + keyword + ""
If keyword can be arbitrary input this is a prone to LDAP injection attacks. Don't do that.
For adding arbitrary input into a LDAP filter use function ldap.filter.escape_filter_chars() to properly escape special characters. Also avoid using variable name filter because it's the name of a built-in Python function and properly enclose the filter in parentheses.
Better example:
ldap_filter = "(cn=*%s*)" % (ldap.filter.escape_filter_chars(keyword))
base = ""
The correct search base you have to use is:
base = "dc=example,dc=com"
Otherwise ldap.NO_SUCH_OBJECT is raised.
So here's a complete example:
import pprint
import ldap
from ldap.filter import escape_filter_chars
BINDDN = "cn=read-only-admin,dc=example,dc=com"
BINDPW = "password"
KEYWORD = "boyle"
ldap_conn = ldap.initialize("ldap://ldap.forumsys.com")
ldap_conn.simple_bind_s(BINDDN, BINDPW)
ldap_filter = "(cn=*%s*)" % (ldap.filter.escape_filter_chars(KEYWORD))
ldap_results = ldap_conn.search_s(
"dc=example,dc=com",
ldap.SCOPE_SUBTREE,
ldap_filter,
)
pprint.pprint(ldap_results)

get all user id's Gmail API

My task is to cout all top senders and top recievers of user's email.
So the plan is to get all user id's, put them in a dictionary, count their amount and print.
I tried this but it doesn't work very well with INBOX label (10 000+ messages):
import base64
import email
import re
import operator
from googleapiclient import errors
from quickstart import service
def find(st):
for i in range(0,len(st)):
tmp = str(st[i])
for j in range(0,len(tmp)):
if tmp[j] == 'T' and tmp[j+1] == 'o' and tmp[j-1] == "'" and tmp[j+2] == "'":
return i
pass
def getTop(n):
try:
if n == 1:
label_ids = "INBOX"
else:
label_ids = "SENT"
user_id = "me"
topers = service.users().labels().get(userId = user_id,id = label_ids).execute()
count = topers['messagesTotal']
print(count)
topers = service.users().messages().list(userId = user_id, labelIds = label_ids).execute()
arrId = []
for i in range(0,count):
arrId.append(topers['messages'][i]['id'])
st = []
for i in range(0,count):
message = service.users().messages().get(userId=user_id,
id=arrId[i],
format = 'metadata').execute()
head = message['payload']['headers']
index = find(head)
obval = head[index]['value']
tmp = str(obval)
tmp =tmp.split('<', 1)[-1]
tmp = tmp.replace('>',"")
st.append(tmp)
cnt = 0
mvalues = {}
for mail in st:
if not mail in mvalues:
mvalues[mail] = 1
else:
mvalues[mail]+= 1
sorted_values = sorted(mvalues.items(),key= operator.itemgetter(1))
ln = len(sorted_values)
for j in range(1,6):
print(sorted_values[-j])
pass
except errors.HttpError as error:
print('An error occurred: %s' % error)
My question is: what is the fastest and the most correct way to get all these user emails?
If I have a lot of messages, using a while and make a request every time is not the best way I guess. I'm trying to figure this out for about 4 days. Help

Manage Python Multiprocessing with MongoDB

I'm trying to run my code with a multiprocessing function but mongo keep returning
"MongoClient opened before fork. Create MongoClient with
connect=False, or create client after forking."
I really doesn't understand how i can adapt my code to this.
Basically the structure is:
db = MongoClient().database
db.authenticate('user', 'password', mechanism='SCRAM-SHA-1')
collectionW = db['words']
collectionT = db['sinMemo']
collectionL = db['sinLogic']
def findW(word):
rows = collectionw.find({"word": word})
ind = 0
for row in rows:
ind += 1
id = row["_id"]
if ind == 0:
a = ind
else:
a = id
return a
def trainAI(stri):
...
if findW(word) == 0:
_id = db['words'].insert(
{"_id": getNextSequence(db.counters, "nodeid"), "word": word})
story = _id
else:
story = findW(word)
...
def train(index):
# searching progress
progFile = "./train/progress{0}.txt".format(index)
trainFile = "./train/small_file_{0}".format(index)
if os.path.exists(progFile):
f = open(progFile, "r")
ind = f.read().strip()
if ind != "":
pprint(ind)
i = int(ind)
else:
pprint("No progress saved or progress lost!")
i = 0
f.close()
else:
i = 0
#get the number of line of the file
rangeC = rawbigcount(trainFile)
#fix unicode
non_bmp_map = dict.fromkeys(range(0x10000, sys.maxunicode + 1), 0xfffd)
files = io.open(trainFile, "r", encoding="utf8")
str1 = ""
str2 = ""
filex = open(progFile, "w")
with progressbar.ProgressBar(max_value=rangeC) as bar:
for line in files:
line = line.replace("\n", "")
if i % 2 == 0:
str1 = line.translate(non_bmp_map)
else:
str2 = line.translate(non_bmp_map)
bar.update(i)
trainAI(str1 + " " + str2)
filex.seek(0)
filex.truncate()
filex.write(str(i))
i += 1
#multiprocessing function
maxProcess = 3
def f(l, i):
l.acquire()
train(i + 1)
l.release()
if __name__ == '__main__':
lock = Lock()
for num in range(maxProcess):
pprint("start " + str(num))
Process(target=f, args=(lock, num)).start()
This code is made for reading 4 different file in 4 different process and at the same time insert the data in the database.
I copied only part of the code for make you understand the structure of it.
I've tried to add connect=False to this code but nothing...
db = MongoClient(connect=False).database
db.authenticate('user', 'password', mechanism='SCRAM-SHA-1')
collectionW = db['words']
collectionT = db['sinMemo']
collectionL = db['sinLogic']
then i've tried to move it in the f function (right before train() but what i get is that the program doesn't find collectionW,collectionT and collectionL.
I'm not very expert of python or mongodb so i hope that this is not a silly question.
The code is running under Ubuntu 16.04.2 with python 2.7.12

db.authenticate will have to connect to mongo server and it will try to make a connection. So, even though connect=False is being used, db.authenticate will require a connection to be open.
Why don't you create the mongo client instance after fork? That's look like the easiest solution.

Since db.authenticate must open the MongoClient and connect to the server, it creates connections which won't work in the forked subprocess. Hence, the error message. Try this instead:
db = MongoClient('mongodb://user:password#localhost', connect=False).database
Also, delete the Lock l. Acquiring a lock in one subprocess has no effect on other subprocesses.

Here is how I did it for my problem:
import pathos.pools as pp
import time
import db_access
class MultiprocessingTest(object):
def __init__(self):
pass
def test_mp(self):
data = [[form,'form_number','client_id'] for form in range(5000)]
pool = pp.ProcessPool(4)
pool.map(db_access.insertData, data)
if __name__ == '__main__':
time_i = time.time()
mp = MultiprocessingTest()
mp.test_mp()
time_f = time.time()
print 'Time Taken: ', time_f - time_i
Here is db_access.py:
from pymongo import MongoClient
def insertData(form):
client = MongoClient()
db = client['TEST_001']
db.initialization.insert({
"form": form[0],
"form_number": form[1],
"client_id": form[2]
})
This is happening to your code because you are initiating MongoCLient() once for all the sub-processes. MongoClient is not fork safe. So, initiating inside each function works and let me know if there are other solutions.

Splinter .type() text then variable

I am attempting to use splinter as a bot on a browser game.
This is my main code block
lastMess = ""
mainMess = ""
userName = ""
bailOut = 0
intCommand = "/whoami"
while bailOut == 0:
if browser.find_by_css('.chatMessage-main').first.text != lastMess:
lastMess = browser.find_by_css('.chatMessage-main').first.text
mainMess = browser.find_by_css('.chatMessage-main').first
userName = mainMess.find_by_css('.chatMessage-text').first.text
print(browser.find_by_css('.chatMessage-main').first.text)
print(mainMess.find_by_css('.chatMessage-message').text)
if intCommand == mainMess.find_by_css('.chatMessage-message').text:
browser.find_by_id('chat_input').type("You are ",userName)
print(browser.find_by_id('chat_input').type("You are ",userName))
browser.find_by_id('chat_submit').click()
print("Reply Sent")
It works properly if I just do this
browser.find_by_id('chat_input').type("You are")
or
browser.find_by_id('chat_input').type(userName)
but not if they are together
browser.find_by_id('chat_input').type("You are ",userName)
Is there anyway to do this?

As I was typing this I figured out an answer
if intCommand == mainMess.find_by_css('.chatMessage-message').text:
browser.find_by_id('chat_input').type("You are ")
browser.find_by_id('chat_input').type(userName)
browser.find_by_id('chat_submit').click()
print("Reply Sent")
If I just do two different lines it works. Its probably not the most efficient but it does the job

unknown error in jython when use startswith()

I'm using python to analyze some records bib and ris files. I made two functions for each type. The first function is the one you see below:
def limpiarlineasris(self, data):
cont = data
dic = cont.splitlines()
cont = ""
con = []
i = 0
for a in dic:
if len(a) != 0:
con.append(a)
for a in con:
cont = cont + a + "\n"
return cont
That works well and I can compile without problem. The problem arises when I write the second function see below:
def limpiarlineasbib(self, data):
cont = data
dic = cont.splitlines()
cont = ""
con = []
separador = "°-°-°"
for a in dic:
if len(a)!= 0:
if a.startswith('#'):
con.append(separador)
else:
con.append(a)
for a in con:
cont = cont + a + "\n"
return cont
When building the first function no problem. But when I compile the second compiler shows me an error but does not tell me exactly what or where it is because I am using plyjy a jar to create Jython objects, and the console only shows me an exception Plyjy without the line where it occurs. I'm using Netbeans to compile
