I am coding in Python, ldap3 trying to create a user in OpenLDAP on CentOS. My local development machine is running Windows 8 64bit. Below is my code.

from ldap3 import Server, Connection, ALL

# define the server
s = Server('ldap://ldap.abcd.com:389', get_info=ALL)  

# define the connection
c = Connection(s, user='cn=Manager,dc=mydomain,dc=com', password='Super1')

# perform the Add operation
c.add('uid=user3,ou=People,dc=abcd,dc=com',['person','organizationalPerson','inetOrgPerson', 'posixGroup', 'top','shadowAccount'], {'givenName': 'user3firstname','sn': 'user3lastname', 'uidNumber' : 520,'gidNumber' : 521,'uid': 'user3','cn': 'user3user3lastname'})

# close the connection
c.unbind()

The Server and Connection class is working ok. i guess because if i run only that 2 statements, it didn't generate an error below.

You must bind the connection before adding the user. Try c.bind() before the add statement.
