Hi
We have an LDAP server running and want to use it to authenticate poeple
for a TG project. I have scoured the web looking for examples of LDAP
use in TG but only came across two posts which helped me (sort of). The
two scripts, soldapprovider.py and ldapprovider.py are giving me a problem.
If someone could help with the following issues:
1. Which of the two scripts is the best to use?
2. Which files must be altered and what must be put where?
(After a while I realised that you have to put the scripts in TG's
directory
under identity, add it in TG's setup.py and then rebuild it. This was
not said in any documentation. I also have to add a few lines in app.cfg
to give the LDAP host name etc.)
3. What does "turbogears.identity.soprovider.autocreate" do in
soldapprovider.py?
4. It seems, to me at least, that in order to authenticate a user with
LDAP, the user needs to be in the local, TG created database as well.
Only when I add the user there, do I get any type of response from LDAP.
E.g.
user XXX is IN tg_users table in local db. When I try to authenticate,
I get "No such LDAP user: XXX". When the user is NOT in the tg_users
table, I get "No such user: XXX".
This implies to me that the user needs to be on LDAP as well as in a
local tg_users db. Am I correct in this assumption?
Any help will be very much appreciated!! Thanks!
