# import library
from hydratk.lib.network.ldap.client import LDAPClient

# initialize client
client = LDAPClient()

# connect to server
# returns bool
client.connect(host='localhost', base_dn='dc=test,dc=com', user='admin', passw='bowman')

# read records from organization unit, base DN dc=test,dc=com is reused
# returns list of records
print client.read('ou=users')

# [{'objectClass': ['organizationalUnit', 'top'], 'ou': 'users', 'CN': 'ou=users,dc=test,dc=com'},
#  {'objectClass': ['inetOrgPerson', 'top'], 'cn': ' Bowman', 'CN': 'cn=Bowman,ou=users,dc=test,dc=com', 'sn': 'Bowman'},
#  {'cn': 'Vince Neil', 'mobile': '603603603', 'l': 'Prague', 'objectClass': ['inetOrgPerson', 'top'],
#   'sn': 'Neil', 'mail': 'aaa@xxx.com', 'givenName': 'Vince', 'CN': 'cn=Vince Neil,ou=users,dc=test,dc=com'},
# ]

# read concrete record
print client.read('ou=users', filter='cn=Bowman')

# [{'objectClass': ['inetOrgPerson', 'top'], 'cn': ' Bowman', 'CN': 'cn=Bowman,ou=users,dc=test,dc=com', 'sn': 'Bowman'}]

# create record
# returns bool
attrs = {'cn':'Calder', 'sn':'Calder', 'givenName':'Mike', 'objectClass':['top','inetOrgPerson']}
client.create('cn=Calder,ou=users', attrs)

# update record, including CN

attrs = {'sn':'Page', 'givenName':'Jimmy', 'cn':'Page'}
client.update('cn=Calder,ou=users', attrs)

# delete record, already with new CN
# returns bool
client.delete('cn=Page,ou=users')

# disconnect from database

client.disconnect()
