Django LDAP authentication

This application uses django-auth-ldap to authenticate against KDL's LDAP service. If the LDAP authentication fails it falls back to Django authentication, so it is possible to have local Django accounts.

Configuration

1. pip install django-kdl-ldap

2. add kdl_ldap to INSTALLED_APPS

3. import the kdl_ldap settings into your project's settings from kdl_ldap.settings import * # noqa.

4. Add the setting AUTH_LDAP_REQUIRE_GROUP to your project settings and set it to the LDAP group you want to authenticate to: AUTH_LDAP_REQUIRE_GROUP = 'cn=PROJECT_GROUP_NAME,' + LDAP_BASE_OU.

5. Add kdl_ldap signal handler into your project urls:

   from kdl_ldap.signal_handlers import register_signal_handlers as

   kdl_ldap_register_signal_hadlers

   kdl_ldap_register_signal_hadlers()

System requirements

The python/django LDAP libraries depend on the libldap2-dev and libsasl2-dev systemlibraries.
