############ Pyramid LDAP ############
pyramid_ldap provides LDAP authentication services for your Pyramid
application. Thanks to the ever-awesome SurveyMonkey <http://surveymonkey.com>_ for sponsoring the development of this package!
See the documentation at https://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/pyramid_ldap/en/latest/ for more information.
This package will only work with Pyramid 1.3 and later.
pyramid_ldap uses pyldap which in turn requires libldap2 and
libsasl2 development headers installed.
On Ubuntu 16.04 you can install them using the command apt-get install libldap2-dev libsasl2-dev.
Python 3 is now supported! This is possible thanks to python-ldap supporting python 3
BREAKING CHANGE: pyramid_ldap now depends on python-ldap >= 3.0, which supports python 2 and 3. If you upgrade pyramid_ldap without upgrading python-ldap, you will see failures where python-ldap receives text arguments instead of bytes. See below for more information.
python-ldap >= 3.0 stopped accepting bytes type arguments for many
LDAPObject methods. We now use the pyramid.compat.text_ function to
support text arguments for python 2 and 3.
In versions 0.2 and lower, invalid LDAP strings passed to
pyramid_ldap.Connector.authenticate would raise ldap.FILTER_ERROR. In
0.3 and up we use ldap.filter.escape_filter_chars to properly escape these
prior to running the LDAP search. Applications using pyramid_ldap have always
been responsible for making sure the login value fits the
ldap.login_filter_tpl setting in their application. However, if you relied
on ldap.FILTER_ERROR to catch bad username formats (such as
CORP\username, where the unescaped \ is disallowed in LDAP searches),
note that now authenticate will return None instead.
Use tox for testing against Python 2.7, 3.6, PEP8, coverage and building docs. Setup Travis CI to run tox. Use pylons-sphinx-themes to fix broken Read The Docs builds. See: https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid_ldap/pull/22
