When I tried to get ldap_auth working I used wireshark to look at the protocol exchange. I was able to see that I had the ou set incorrectly and when corrected the authentication worked perfectly.
... some changes I made to db.py ................. from gluon.contrib.login_methods.ldap_auth import ldap_auth ... auth.define_tables(username=True) ... auth.settings.login_methods.append(ldap_auth(mode='ad', server='machine.domaincontroller.com', base_dn='ou=users,dc=domaincontroller,dc=com')) ..................................................
