Hi Team
We want to integrate LDAP authentication for a user to login into postorious.
When a user tries to login, he should be authenticated by an LDAP instead of getting authenticated using the credentials saved in the mailman database.
What file should be edited and any small clue would be welcome.
First see Django's Docs on authentication backends1. This2 seems to come up as the most popular library for LDAP authentication in Django.
You won't have to change anything in the source, only use the appropriate settings defined in the docs of Django-auth-ldap to integrate with LDAP.
There might be some minor details that I am not aware of, but if you setup correct settings, other things should work okay. You *may* have to create your own Sign-In pages though. I am assuming you won't have a sign-up page.
You'll end up making changes in urls.py in the mailman-suite project
too, just to configure the right URLs to redirect to for authentication.
Sorry for sparse information, but I hope this will be a good starting point for you. It would be awesome if you could also document this process if you succeed since there have been some requests in past about integrating with LDAP. It could help others in future :)
