Rich,

Version is 389-ds-base-1.3.3.8-1.fc21.x86_64

Below is the "ldapsearch" command that works on the LDAP server.

ldapsearch -x -b "uid=testuser,cn=users,cn=accounts,dc=example,dc=com"


Below is an excerpt of the python script.

#!/usr/bin/env python
import sys
import ldap
from ldap import LDAPError

SUFFIX = "dc=example,dc=com"
LDAPSERVER = "ipa.example.com"

if not len(sys.argv) == 2:
    raise sys.exit("Wrong arguments. Only argument should be the username")

uid = sys.argv[1]
search = "uid=%s,cn=users,cn=accounts,%s" % (uid, SUFFIX)

try:
    conn = ldap.initialize("ldap://%s" % (LDAPSERVER))
    conn.simple_bind_s()
    response = conn.search_s(search ,ldap.SCOPE_BASE, "(objectClass=*)",
["ipaSshPubKey", "ipaSshSigTimestamp", "loginshell"])
except LDAPError, e:
    print e
    print "Error getting info from LDAP. Either wrong username or issues
with LDAP server "
    raise sys.exit(-1)
