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 2.7 and 3.4+; and Django 1.11+. It requires python-ldap >= 3.0.

If you have something you'd like to contribute, the best approach is to send a well-formed pull request, complete with tests and documentation, as needed. Pull requests should be focused: trying to do more than one thing in a single request will make it more difficult to process.
If you have a bug or feature request you can try logging an issue.
There's no harm in creating an issue and then submitting a pull request to resolve it. This can be a good way to start a conversation and can serve as an anchor point.
To get set up for development, activate your virtualenv and use pip to install from requirements.txt:
% pip install -r requirements.txt
To run the tests:
% django-admin test --settings tests.settings
To run the full test suite in a range of environments, run tox from the root of the project:
% tox
This includes some static analysis to detect potential runtime errors and style issues.
