Error when searching for a user in Active Directory

[BhanuPrakashSamoju]

Hi,

I am trying to connect to an active directory and search for a user on my domain. But I am getting below error while searching using common name(from_cn) & distinguished name (from_dn).

Kindly help me understand why this error occurs.

from pyad import *
pyad.set_defaults(ldap_server="testlab.com", username="u20@testlab.com", password="******")
user1 = aduser.ADUser.from_dn("cn=u10, ou=AEO-POC, dc=testlab, dc=com")

com_error Traceback (most recent call last)
in
----> 1 user1 = aduser.ADUser.from_dn("cn=u10, ou=staff, dc=testlab, dc=com")
2 print(user1)
