This guide explains how to implement LDAP authentication using an external server. User authentication will fall back to
built-in Django users in the event of a failure.
# Requirements
## Install openldap-devel
On Ubuntu:
```
sudo apt-get install -y python-dev libldap2-dev libsasl2-dev libssl-dev
```
On CentOS:
```
sudo yum install -y python-devel openldap-devel
```
## Install django-auth-ldap
```
sudo pip install django-auth-ldap
```
# Configuration
Create a file in the same directory as `configuration.py` (typically `netbox/netbox/`) named `ldap_config.py`. Define all of the parameters required below in `ldap_config.py`.
## General Server Configuration
```python
import ldap
# Server URI
AUTH_LDAP_SERVER_URI = "ldaps://ad.example.com"
# The following may be needed if you are binding to Active Directory.
AUTH_LDAP_CONNECTION_OPTIONS = {
ldap.OPT_REFERRALS: 0
}
# Set the DN and password for the NetBox service account.
AUTH_LDAP_BIND_DN = "CN=NETBOXSA, OU=Service Accounts,DC=example,DC=com"
AUTH_LDAP_BIND_PASSWORD = "demo"
# Include this setting if you want to ignore certificate errors. This might be needed to accept a self-signed cert.
# Note that this is a NetBox-specific setting which sets:
# ldap.set_option(ldap.OPT_X_TLS_REQUIRE_CERT, ldap.OPT_X_TLS_NEVER)
LDAP_IGNORE_CERT_ERRORS = True
```
## User Authentication
```python
from django_auth_ldap.config import LDAPSearch
# This search matches users with the sAMAccountName equal to the provided username. This is required if the user's
# username is not in their DN (Active Directory).
AUTH_LDAP_USER_SEARCH = LDAPSearch("ou=Users,dc=example,dc=com",
ldap.SCOPE_SUBTREE,
"(sAMAccountName=%(user)s)")
# If a user's DN is producible from their username, we don't need to search.
AUTH_LDAP_USER_DN_TEMPLATE = "uid=%(user)s,ou=users,dc=example,dc=com"
# You can map user attributes to Django attributes as so.
AUTH_LDAP_USER_ATTR_MAP = {
"first_name": "givenName",
"last_name": "sn"
}
```
# User Groups for Permissions
```python
from django_auth_ldap.config import LDAPSearch, GroupOfNamesType
# This search ought to return all groups to which the user belongs. django_auth_ldap uses this to determine group
# heirarchy.
AUTH_LDAP_GROUP_SEARCH = LDAPSearch("dc=example,dc=com", ldap.SCOPE_SUBTREE,
"(objectClass=group)")
AUTH_LDAP_GROUP_TYPE = GroupOfNamesType()
# Define a group required to login.
AUTH_LDAP_REQUIRE_GROUP = "CN=NETBOX_USERS,DC=example,DC=com"
# Define special user types using groups. Exercise great caution when assigning superuser status.
AUTH_LDAP_USER_FLAGS_BY_GROUP = {
"is_active": "cn=active,ou=groups,dc=example,dc=com",
"is_staff": "cn=staff,ou=groups,dc=example,dc=com",
"is_superuser": "cn=superuser,ou=groups,dc=example,dc=com"
}
# For more granular permissions, we can map LDAP groups to Django groups.
AUTH_LDAP_FIND_GROUP_PERMS = True
# Cache groups for one hour to reduce LDAP traffic
AUTH_LDAP_CACHE_GROUPS = True
AUTH_LDAP_GROUP_CACHE_TIMEOUT = 3600
```
