First see Django's Docs on authentication backends[1]. This[2] seems to come up as the most popular library for LDAP authentication in Django. [1]: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.2/topics/auth/customizing/#specifying-authentication-backends [2]: https://django-auth-ldap.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ You won't have to change anything in the source, only use the appropriate settings defined in the docs of Django-auth-ldap to integrate with LDAP. There might be some minor details that I am not aware of, but if you setup correct settings, other things should work okay. You *may* have to create your own Sign-In pages though. I am assuming you won't have a sign-up page. You'll end up making changes in `urls.py` in the mailman-suite project too, just to configure the right URLs to redirect to for authentication. Sorry for sparse information, but I hope this will be a good starting point for you. It would be awesome if you could also document this process if you succeed since there have been some requests in past about integrating with LDAP. It could help others in future :) > -- > Regards > Sandeep Kumar > +91-9642669192 > _______________________________________________ > Mailman-Developers mailing list -- mailman-developers@python.org > To unsubscribe send an email to mailman-developers-le...@python.org > https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/mailman-developers.python.org/ > Mailman FAQ: https://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 > > Security Policy: https://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 > -- thanks, Abhilash Raj (maxking) _______________________________________________ Mailman-Developers mailing list -- mailman-developers@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to mailman-developers-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/mailman-developers.python.org/ Mailman FAQ: https://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: https://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9
