Okay, that all makes sense, thank you. I had seen some hits on Google
that appeared to suggest that.
Upon further investigation, it appears that what we're doing wrong is
failing to set certain LDAPControls required by AD in order to modify
the ntSecurityDescriptor attribute. The Python-LDAP classes we're
using do not currently support LDAPControl, so we may wind up trying
to help out implementing LDAPControl support for Python.
Thanks,
Jon
