pydhcp-ldap-schema

Helper class that can simplyfy most of the tasks when managing ISC-DHCP configuration stored in a LDAP tree.

Modifying existing configuration

Example::

import ldap
from pydhcp_ldap_schema import DHCPEntry

con = ldap.initialize('ldap://localhost')
con.bind_s('user', 'pass')

subNet = DHCPEntry.ldap_load(con, 'cn=192.168.1.0,cn=DHCP Config,dc=example,dc=com')
print subNet['dhcpNetMask']      # prints ['24']
subNet['dhcpNetMask'] = ['25']   # set new value

subNet.ldap_modify(con)          # automatic change detection and commit if nessesery

con.unbind_s()

Creating new nodes

Add fresh configuration::

import ldap
from pydhcp_ldap_schema import DHCPEntry

con = ldap.initialize('ldap://localhost')
con.bind_s('user', 'pass')

service = DHCPEntry(['top', 'dhcpService'], cn=['DHCP Config'])
service.ldap_add(con, 'cn=DHCP Config,dc=example,dc=com')       # create base entry

dhcpServer = DHCPEntry(['top', 'dhcpServer'], cn=['dhcp.local'])
dhcpServer['dhcpServiceDN'] = [service.dn]

service.subobjects.insert_entry(dhcpServer)   # DN will be calculated

dhcpServer.ldap_add(con)

# and most important subnet declaration

subnet = DHCPEntry(['top', 'dhcpSubnet'], cn=['192.168.1.0'])
subnet['dhcpNetMask'] = ['24']

service.subobjects.insert_entry(subnet)

subnet.ldap_add(con)

# Now you can start DHCPd server

con.unbind_s()
