Best docs is the source itself:
gluon/contrib/login_methods/ldap_auth.py

What kind of LDAP server is it?
If using OpenLDAP you want:
auth.settings.login_methods.append(ldap_auth
(server='stbldap01.sun.ac.za', base_dn='ou=users,O=SU')
If using Active Directory you want:
auth.settings.login_methods.append(ldap_auth(mode='ad',
server='stbldap01.sun.ac.za', base_dn='ou=users,O=SU')
If using Domino you want:
auth.settings.login_methods.append(ldap_auth(mode='domino',
server='stbldap01.sun.ac.za')
Anything else is currently untested.
ldaps:// support isn't yet available, but is easy to patch into it.
Is a simple 'secure=True' passing a good enough syntax?
The OpenLDAP assumes that we're searching on uid.
However you seem to want to search on cn.
If you provide the working command line bind using one of the ldap
command line tools, then I can try & develop something that works for
you.
Note that 'append' means that local users also exist & LDAP passwords
get copied to local (& thence get checked locally)
Replace with this to have it only check passwords in LDAP:
auth.settings.login_methods=[ldap_auth(server='stbldap01.sun.ac.za',
base_dn='ou=users,O=SU']

'lastest web2py' isn't an ideal term.
I use latest Bzr & the file is present & works
I checked the Source downloadable for version 1.64.1 & can see the
file there.
What happens when you run from Web2Py Shell?
python web2py.py -S welcome -M
>>> from gluon.contrib.login_methods.ldap_auth import ldap_auth
Works on an Ubuntu hardy box running Python 2.5.2 (Src downloadable of
1.64.1)
Best Wishes,
Fran.
