django_auth_ldap - AUTH_LDAP_REQUIRE_GROUP

I am using django_auth_ldap. Login without checking for a group works fine.

But trying to login with the user example_user which was added to the group example_group on LDAP and setting AUTH_LDAP_REQUIRE_GROUP fails.

settings.py

AUTH_LDAP_SERVER_URI = "ldap://ldap.example.com"
AUTH_LDAP_START_TLS = True

AUTH_LDAP_BIND_DN = ""
AUTH_LDAP_BIND_PASSWORD = ""
AUTH_LDAP_USER_SEARCH = LDAPSearch("cn=users,dc=example,dc=com",
    ldap.SCOPE_SUBTREE, "(uid=%(user)s)")



# Set up the basic group parameters.
AUTH_LDAP_GROUP_SEARCH = LDAPSearch("cn=example_group,cn=groups,dc=example,dc=com",
    ldap.SCOPE_SUBTREE, "(objectClass=groupOfNames)"
)

AUTH_LDAP_GROUP_TYPE = GroupOfNamesType(name_attr="cn")


AUTH_LDAP_REQUIRE_GROUP = "cn=example_group,cn=groups,dc=example,dc=com"

From the logs:

search_s('cn=users,dc=example,dc=com', 2, '(uid=%(user)s)') returned 1 objects: cn=example_user,cn=users,dc=example,dc=com
cn=example_user,cn=users,dc=example,dc=com is not a member of cn=example_group,cn=groups,dc=example,dc=com
Authentication failed for example_user: user does not satisfy AUTH_LDAP_REQUIRE_GROUP

$ ldapsearch -x -h ldap.example.com b"cn=example_group,cn=groups,dc=example,dc=com"

Solution

  • It is working with the following changes:

    settings.py

    from django_auth_ldap.config import LDAPSearch, GroupOfUniqueNamesType



AUTH_LDAP_GROUP_SEARCH = LDAPSearch( "cn=example_group,cn=groups,dc=example,dc=com",
    #ldap.SCOPE_SUBTREE, "(objectClass=groupOfNames)"
    ldap.SCOPE_SUBTREE, "(objectClass=orclGroup)"
)

#AUTH_LDAP_GROUP_TYPE = GroupOfNamesType(name_attr="cn")
AUTH_LDAP_GROUP_TYPE = GroupOfUniqueNamesType(name_attr="cn")
