web2ldap.py 0.5.8: WWW gateway for accessing LDAP servers

[Michael Ströder <michael.stroeder@inka.de>]

HI!

I would like to announce a new version of web2ldap (formerly known as
ldap-client-cgi.py), a full-featured LDAPv2 client written in Python
designed to run as a CGI-BIN under the control of a WWW server.

It's available for free (GPL) from

  http://www.web2ldap.de/

There's also a working demo there.

I would like to encourage people to give feedback about the usability
of this program.

Ciao, Michael.

Changes since 0.5.6:

- some code cleaning / bug fixing
- enhanced direct handling of UTF-8 input/output more
  conform to HTML4 standard
- new feature: for each host a dictionary with DNs as keys
  can be created to define the default objectclass
  and attribute for forming DNs for subordinate entries
  (see example in cgi-bin/web2ldapcnf.py under host
  ldap.ms.inka.de). This is handy in situations where
  unexperienced users have to add entries without knowing
  how to form a new DN.
