I'm new to Flask and I'm trying out Flask-LDAP3-Login.
I've followed the documentation here and i have it working which is great: https://flask-ldap3-login.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html
How would i go about authenticating a user based on whether they are a member of a specific group? I see the docs mention group filtering but i'm not sure how to put it all together.
If anyone is curious, i solved this myself doing the following:
First, i integrated flask-ldap3-login with Flask-SQLAlchemy using steps here - https://github.com/nickw444/flask-ldap3-login/issues/26
My save user method now looks like this:
@ldap_manager.save_user
def save_user(dn, username, data, memberships):
id=int(data.get("uidNumber"))
if 'group-goes-here' in data.get("memberOf"):
user=User.query.filter_by(id=id).first()
if not user:
user=User(
id=int(id),
dn=dn,
username=username,
email=data['mail'],
firstname=data['givenName'],
lastname=data['sn']
)
db.session.add(user)
db.session.commit()
return user
So basically provided the user enters valid LDAP credentials it goes to AD to retrieve their group memberships and its a simple if 'group-goes-here' in data.get("memberOf"): determines whether to save the user in my User model and return it back to the handler.
@auth.route('/login', methods=['GET', 'POST'])
def login():
# Redirect users who are not logged in.
form = LDAPLoginForm()
if form.validate_on_submit():
if form.user:
login_user(form.user)
else:
flash('Login Failed', 'warning')
return redirect(url_for('auth.login'))
return redirect(url_for('main.home'))
Hope this helps!
