LDAP Authentication Backend

Install with the following command:

pip install django_ldap_auth_backend

Then add the backend module to to AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS in your Django settings like so:

AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = (
    'ldap.backends.ldap_auth.LDAPBackend',
    'django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend',
    .
    .
    .
    )

Be default the backend looks for an LDAP server at localhost on port 10389.

These items can be overridden in django settings like so:

LDAP_HOST = "ldap.example.com"
LDAP_PORT = 9999

In the above example, the backend will look for an LDAP server ldap.example.com on port 9999.
