Django1.5 and how to handle additional fields

[michael...@fusepool.net]

After Django 1.5 is now released I was wondering if there are already any plans how to handle additional user fields with django-auth-ldap.

The current way to do this by using "AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE" will be not possible in some future:

Deprecated in Django 1.5: With the introduction of custom User models, the use of AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE to define a single profile model is no longer supported. See the Django 1.5 release notes for more information.

Does it already work if we substitute the user model with a custom one and add the new fields to the AUTH_LDAP_USER_ATTR_MAP? e.g.:

AUTH_LDAP_USER_ATTR_MAP = {"first_name": "givenName", "last_name": "sn", "uri": "labeledURI"} 

This would be one solution but not really handy if you like to extend a running system. So is the "AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE" still be the way to go in future for extended models?

Thanks for any ideas

AUTH_LDAP_USER_ATTR_MAP is a thin convenience setting that pulls values from the user's LDAP attributes and populates the Django user object using setattr(). It actually doesn't care whether you're assigning to model fields or not. You could use this to hang arbitrary properties off your user objects if you want, although it probably wouldn't be very useful.
