This is a Django authentication backend that authenticates against an LDAP service. Configuration can be as simple as a single distinguished name template, but there are many rich configuration options for working with users, groups, and permissions. This version is supported on Python 3.6+; and Django 2.2+. It requires python-ldap >= 3.1.
GitHub - django-auth-ldap/django-auth-ldap: Django authentication backend that authenticates against an LDAP service. Loading status checks… Instead of keeping a changelog (which is often forgotten), use the GitHub releases feature.
To use the auth backend in a Django project, add 'django_auth_ldap.backend.LDAPBackend' to AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS. Do not add anything to INSTALLED_APPS.

django-auth-ldap
needs to be compiled due to its dependencies. Especially on Windows, I'd recommend trying a pure Python solution. The one I use which works very well, is django-python3-ldap
, which you can find here:
https://github.com/etianen/django-python3-ldap
Here is how I set up the settings, so that we can connect using these values with ldap3
directly as well:
AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = [
'django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend',
'django_python3_ldap.auth.LDAPBackend',
]
# LDAP Connection Settings
LDAP_AUTH_HOST = 'ldap.example.com'
LDAP_AUTH_PORT = 636
LDAP_AUTH_URL = 'ldaps://{host}:{port}'.format(
host=LDAP_AUTH_HOST,
port=LDAP_AUTH_PORT,
)
LDAP_AUTH_CONNECTION_USERNAME = 'ldapuser'
LDAP_AUTH_CONNECTION_PASSWORD = 'ldappassword'
# Initiate TLS on connection.
LDAP_AUTH_USE_TLS = True
# The LDAP search base for looking up users.
LDAP_AUTH_SEARCH_BASE = "ou=People,dc=example,dc=com"
# The LDAP class that represents a user.
LDAP_AUTH_OBJECT_CLASS = "shadowAccount"
# User model fields mapped to the LDAP
# attributes that represent them.
LDAP_AUTH_USER_FIELDS = {
"username": "uid",
}
# A tuple of fields used to uniquely identify a user.
LDAP_AUTH_USER_LOOKUP_FIELDS = ("username",)
The README also includes instructions for Active Directory, if that's what you're connecting to. Good luck!
For those who, like me, cannot leave django-auth-ldap for whatever reason: I solved downloading and installing the binary wheel of python-ldap from here
https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#python-ldap
I hope this helps
