Would there be interest in updating the LDAP backend to support two new features:
- direct bind searching using the credentials from those of the user authenticating with the WebUI - a distinguished name template to allow the user supplied user login to be augmented My IT group doesn’t allow an anonymous search nor do they support creating an application account to bind to LDAP. Looking at the LDAP backend the only issue that would need to be worked out would be when to cache the superuser and data_profiler settings since those could’t always happen at the time that the LdapUser is instantiated. https://github.com/apache/incubator-airflow/blob/master/airflow/contrib/auth/backends/ldap_auth.py I’d be happy to create a Jira and make these changes if folks thought they fit in. Thanks, Erich
