Thanks. Well the problem with the network personnel is that the person who set up the active directory server left recently and his documentation is very incomplete, so i'm trying to understand how it is setup but have yet to succeed.
However I would be glad if someone here was able to devide the parameters i copied from the old .htaccess file, according to the variables the django backend requires. if you understand my meaning. old .htaccess: AuthLDAPUrl ldap://dc1.xxxx.local:389/OU=xxxxxxx,DC=xxxx,DC=local?sAMAccountName AuthLDAPBindDN CN=ldaplogin,CN=Users,DC=jura,DC=local AuthLDAPBindPassword "xxxxxxxx" AuthBasicProvider ldap AuthzLDAPAuthoritative off The backend I was thinking about using is: http://code.djangoproject.com/attachment/ticket/2507/ldapauth.py this howevers requires some things in my settings.py file: but i dont know what to write. I guessing that the parameters are still valid, i just need to find some way to use this LDAP authorization in django instead of apache. 11 Requires the following things to be in settings.py: 12 LDAP_DEBUG -- boolean 13 Uses logging module for debugging messages. 14 LDAP_SERVER_URI -- string, ldap uri. 15 default: 'ldap://localhost' 16 LDAP_SEARCHDN -- string of the LDAP dn to use for searching 17 default: 'dc=localhost' 18 LDAP_SCOPE -- one of: ldap.SCOPE_*, used for searching 19 see python-ldap docs for the search function 20 default = ldap.SCOPE_SUBTREE 21 LDAP_SEARCH_FILTER -- formated string, the filter to use for searching for a 22 user. Used as: filterstr = LDAP_SEARCH_FILTER % username 23 default = 'cn=%s' 24 LDAP_UPDATE_FIELDS -- boolean, do we sync the db with ldap on each auth 25 default = True" On 15 Sep., 19:19, Joseph <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Try to have a look > at:http://code.google.com/p/s-o-l/source/browse/trunk/settings_prod_chan... > > I have a login page but authenticate against AD server and if > authenticated I store in a database; you may have to customize > according to your needs. > > If you are on windows, I recommend to use AD explorer (http:// > technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963907.aspx).
