We have been trying to implement a web2py project on a Windows IIS server for the last few weeks and we are currently considering abandoning the project due to the absence of LDAP and SAML modules for Windows.
We are running python 3.7 with IIS 8. We managed to get that configuration running pretty easily. We then tried to integrate ldap. python-ldap seems to depend on Openldap and from what we can see, doesn't work on Windows for Python 3.7. Pyldap3 seems to work better, but would need to be integrated into the auth framework of Web2Py but the project decided to prefer SAML so the pyldap3 option was put on hold. We started trying to implement SAML Python-saml also seems to have been made for Linux but doesn't seem to work in Windows with Python 3.7. We then tried Pysaml2, which installed without a problem, but we saw that we also needed xmlsec and then we started running into other errors and still have not managed to install ithe other modules needed like xmlsec (maybe due to our secure environment and firewall settings). Question : Is it even possible to use SAML with Python 3.7 on Windows ?? We have lost already weeks on this and we don't want to lose more time if in the end it isn't possible. Has anyone done this ? How did you do it ? If it is a lost cause I prefer knowing that now. It basically looks like most modules needed were built for Linux and not for Windows.and for python 2.7 and not for python 3.X. You help or input will be greatly appreciated !! Would especially appreciate any feedback from Massimo if he reads this. -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
