@brad: can you show me some sample code for this? @david: i tried different configuration options but with no luck, i can bind and search manually over python-ldap so i can definitely connect.
ive seen that the requirements for django-auth-ldap are python2.3 and django1.0 so maybe thats one of the problems. is someone who is using a higher pyhton version and maybe django1.1 and have it working? any advise would be appreciated. brad wrote: >> i need to authenticate users through ldap but i need also to store their >> preferences in the database, i cant really understand if >> > > >> what is the best way to go? >> > > One thing you might consider doing is just write a custom backend: > (http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.1/ref/authbackends/#ref- > authentication-backends). > > I have a project where user's authenticate agains Active Directory. > If the authentication is successful, the backend checks to see if an > corresponding User (from django.contrib.auth) exists.
