libnfldap

========= libnfldap

A Python module to generate IPTables and IPSet rules from LDAP records. See example.py for a demo.

Installation

Use PyPi:

.. code:: bash

$ sudo pip install libnfldap

Or build a RPM using:

.. code:: bash

$ python setup.py bdist_rpm

The latter will include an RPM dependency for python-ldap.

Example

The script at example_allusers.py will build iptables and ipset rules for all users in LDAP. You can provide the script an ldap filter as argv[1] to limit the scope.

.. code:: bash

$ time python example_allusers.py '(uid=jvehent)'
IPTables rules written in /tmp/tmpT7JgOW
IPSet rules written in /tmp/tmpJYtWM5

real    0m0.605s
user    0m0.061s
sys     0m0.014s

example.py does something similar but for a single user identified by its uidNumber (unix user ID).

.. code:: bash

$ python example.py 2297
#Generating rules for user ID 1664
