Installing Python for Men&Mice Central on Windows
Using LDAP (see Configure LDAP authentication) with Men&Mice Central on a Windows server requires Python to be installed for all users.
If you haven’t yet installed Python, or just for the current user, follow these steps:
Download and run the installer for Python from https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/.
On the first screen, select Add Python 3.x to PATH and click Customize installation.
