im trying to get it working, i configured my settings.py like this:
import ldap
from django_auth_ldap.config import LDAPSearch, GroupOfNamesType
# Baseline configuration.
AUTH_LDAP_SERVER_URI = "ldap://myldapurl:myportnumber";
AUTH_LDAP_BIND_DN = ""
AUTH_LDAP_BIND_PASSWORD = ""
AUTH_LDAP_USER_SEARCH = LDAPSearch("dc=example,dc=com",
ldap.SCOPE_SUBTREE, "(uid=%(user)s)")
# Set up the basic group parameters.
AUTH_LDAP_GROUP_SEARCH = LDAPSearch("dc=example,dc=com",
ldap.SCOPE_SUBTREE, "(objectClass=groupOfNames)"
)
AUTH_LDAP_GROUP_TYPE = GroupOfNamesType(name_attr="cn")
# Populate the Django user from the LDAP directory.
AUTH_LDAP_USER_ATTR_MAP = {
"username": "sn",
"first_name": "cn",
"last_name": "sn",
"email": "mail"
}
AUTH_LDAP_USER_FLAGS_BY_GROUP = {
"is_active": "dc=example,dc=com",
"is_staff": "dc=example,dc=com",
"is_superuser": "dc=example,dc=com"
}
# Keep ModelBackend around for per-user permissions and maybe a local
# superuser.
AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = (
'django_auth_ldap.backend.LDAPBackend',
'django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend',
)
django starts, i get no error messages, no success messages, no users in
the db, really no signal at all.
how can i check if i am connected or not?
what is the username if i dont set it explicitly in the
AUTH_LDAP_USER_ATTR_MAP?
