I'm really stuck here, would greatly appreciate any help. Is there a way to check or test if the DAL is communicating with the ldap "ad" host? It seems like no matter what settings I used to the server and base_dn, even ones that are obviously wrong, I am only getting the same "invalid login" error.
I read in some older discussion that I should use auth.settings.login_methods = [ldap_auth(mode='ad', ..... instead of auth.settings.login_methods.append(ldap_auth(mode='ad', ..... Does this still apply to the current version? I'm trying them both without luck so far.
