To start set the AUTH_LDAP_SERVER_URI to your LDAP/ADS server. For example: AUTH_LDAP_SERVER_URI = "ldap://ads.example.com:389"
We use a dedicated user to bind to the LDAP server and execute LDAP query to the server.
To do set set: AUTH_LDAP_BIND_DN en AUTH_LDAP_BIND_PASSWORD. If you use an anonymous user you can remove these settings,
AUTH_LDAP_USER_SEARCH is set to search for (sAMAccountName=%(user)s), which should be fine for searching Microsoft ADS.
You may need to change this if you are using another LDAP provider.
A standard python manage.py runserver will start the server at port 8000. Opening [http://localhost:8000] asks you to login with
your ADS credentials. You can see the generated query and population of the database tables in the console output.
