I've been running into a very frustrating situation with a seg fault in Apache when authenticating Django using LDAP. The problem is intermittent, probably one out of every 5 logins causes the seg fault.
The code I'm using for LDAP (borrowed from the web, thanks Mick) authentication is shown below Here's what I'm running Django-1.0.2-final Python 2.5.2 httpd-2.2.9 openldap-2.4.14 python-ldap-2.3.5 CentOS release 4.6 (Final) I've tried both mod_python-3.3.1 and mod_wsgi-2.3 I get the crash in both cases. I've read that there are conflicts with mod_php, but this is not the issue, PHP has never been installed on this server. The code below runs perfectly in a standalone program, it only segfaults in Apache. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Pat import ldap from django.conf import settings from django.contrib.auth.models import User, check_password class LDAPBackend: # from http://blogs.translucentcode.org/mick/tags/django/ def authenticate(self, username=None, password=None): username = "%...@example.com" % (username) l = ldap.open('ldap.example.com') try: l.simple_bind_s(username, password) valid = True except ldap.LDAPError, e: valid = False if valid: try: user = User.objects.get(username=username) except User.DoesNotExist: # Create a new user. Note that we can set password to anything # as it won't be checked, the password from settings.py will. user = User(username=username, password='obtained from ldap') user.is_staff = True user.is_superuser = True user.save() return user return None def get_user(self, user_id): try: return User.objects.get(pk=user_id) except User.DoesNotExist: return None --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
