By that, do you mean that it is sending you back to the login form and telling you to input a *correct* username and password? If so, the thing I ran into with this is that the django.contrib.auth.models.User model has two attributes, is_staff and is_superuser. If you are NOT setting at least is_staff = True, then your user is not allowed to access the admin, period, and you'll never get past the login screen. If you go into /admin/ as an actual admin user, you'll likely see your user created in the Users section, but with no staff or superuser permissions. I actually very recently wrote an app to help with this sort of thing, http://code.google.com/p/django-ldap-groups/, though I haven't targeted Open Directory or LDAP servers using SASL auth. I'd be happy to work with you to add Open Directory to the list of supported servers. It is very new (about a week old or so), and has boogs, but I'd love to see if it helps your problem. (Of course, the fun part about LDAP is that my diagnosis may be entirely wrong, too... ;) Regards, ---Peter Herndon --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
