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 :)

Thanks Abhilash for valuable inputs.
I will come back to you if in case of any challenges.
We have also implemented sending SMS notification along with the mail notification to the moderator whenever the post is held for approval. We could able to achieve that through the inputs received from this mailing list group. Thanks once again

Would be curious to see how you did this, and maybe suggest something in case you are using internal APIs which could break when upgrading to a new version.

Hi Abhilash
I am a naive to Python development, but my client was having the requirement of sending SMS to the moderators.
We are using postgresql database . I have used psycopg2 module to fetch the email address of the moderator from the database for the list that is posted.(mlist_fqdnname)
From the email address I have used ldapsearch to fetch mobile number of the email address from ldap using subprocess module.
After receving the mobile number we are having SMS api to send the message to the moderator to this I have imported urllib and urllib.request module in parsing http requests.
I am not sure what I did was a right way of approach but I could able to achieve that.
All the above piece of code was incorporated in hold.py file.
Request your valuable inputs on this approach. If there is any more better approach your inputs are most welcome.
Regards Sandeep

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.
We will be using the same Sign-In page and we will also be having Sign-Up pages. The Sign-Up page is required to make an entry of the registered user in the mailman DB.
We are already having an ldap database of the users we want to use the same ldap for our mailman authentication also.
We don't want to make a new ldap server setup for this.
Our way of Approach is
- User will sign up in the mailman and his username will be noted in the database.
- When ever user tries to login he should get the authenticated by ldap which is already running for other services.
- We need only moderators and list owners to login in to the mailman but out ldap will be having even the members entries also which makes the login of members also possible.
- To restrict the login of members into mailman we thought of authenticating to the members who are registered in mailman database.
- So first when user tries to login his username has to be checked in mailman database if the particular entry is present then he should be authenticated by ldap.
Please help me in any deviation in the above approach. As the client requirement is as above I thought of achieving this way.
Your inputs are most welcome.
