I would like my app to authenticate with AD (ldap) for users and passwords.
But, I'm not in control of the LDAP, and I can't get them to add new groups
etc. and the app requires users to be in a web2py admin group to do certain
admin functions within the app.
So at the moment, I'm using standard auth, where users can self register,
then I add them to the admin group myself if necessary
I found a web2py slices for authenticating against AD, but how can I also
use web2py groups, /instead of/ AD/ldap groups? So authenticate the user
and password against AD, but use my app groups for additional permissions
Is it the case of the auth.settings.create_user_groups and
auth.settings.login_methods [ manage_groups ] options?
I won't be able to test it sadly until I have access to an ldap server.
Might be time to run my own for now, I suppose!
Question for now is, is this possible at all? If so, I will set up and
configure an ldap server to test it with.
Thanks
