Change Log

v1.1.7 - 2013-11-19

  • Bug fix: AUTH_LDAP_GLOBAL_OPTIONS could be ignored in some cases (such as LDAPBackend().populate_user(...)).

v1.1.5 - 2013-10-25

  • Fix #41: Support POSIX group permissions with no gidNumber attribute.
  • Support multiple group DNs for *_FLAGS_BY_GROUP.

v1.1.4 - 2013-03-09

  • Add support for Django 1.5’s custom user models.

v1.1.3 - 2013-01-05

  • Fix #33: Reject empty passwords by default.

    Unless AUTH_LDAP_PERMIT_EMPTY_PASSWORD is set to True, LDAPBackend.authenticate() will immediately return None if the password is empty. This is technically backwards-incompatible, but it’s a more secure default for those LDAP servers that are configured such that binds without passwords always succeed.

  • Fix #39: Add support for pickling LDAP-authenticated users.
