Hi,
I'm moving my development environment (python, Django, virtualenv) from Windows
to Linux (Debian more specific). However, on one app (uses Django), i have a
log on
module that uses AD to authenticate users.
It's based on the active_directory wrapper of Tim Golden.
That needs the win32 module but installation of pywin32 fails on importing:
import _winreg
ImportError: No module named _winreg
Kind of logical in hindsight :)
However, this makes programming and testing under Linux a bit of a pain if
you're
dealing with Windows specific stuff.
What is the correct way to proceed (i want to keep my development environment
in Linux)?
I could adjust my software modules to use the Linux counterparts of the AD
functions
that i have to authenticate.
Or is there another way to deal with this?
Thanks for any insight,
Cheers,
Benedict
Just change to LDAP as authentication method.
Even Active Directory offers LDAP (w/o SSL), and there
are modules to interact with LDAP using python.
And, it is platform indipendent.
See here: http://www.python-ldap.org/
I've done this quite often to auth users in an AD with apache/ldap-auth.
