Kerberos authent implementation

[Benjamin SOULAS]

Hello every one, 

I would like to test Kerberos authentication. Can someone give me advices? I saw Django-kerberos and django-auth-kerberos, but there are not much maintenairs on those, so is it more appropriate to develop my own Django Backend to handle this authentication?

I don't see much documentation (or full tutorial), any advices is welcome :)

Kind regards.

Benjamin

What would be the motivation for Kerberos authentication?  Why not just use LDAP authentication?  Just wondering for my own edification.

No problem. I have to develop an app for customers assuming they can have different authentication system (just for information: I am discovering LDAP, RADIUS, Kerberos and others for a few days, I don't have skills in that).

The aim of our app is to adapt itself depending if the customer has an OpenLDAP authentication system, an Active Directory authentication system, Kerberos, Kerberos + LDAP (I don't really understand that one ...as I understood, Kerberos is just a communication protocol based on tickets), RADIUS authentication system.

So for now, I successfully authenticate OpenLDAP users (Active Directory is coming), but I need to investigate every possibilities, which django packages are available or not (if they exists, do they suits our needs, if not, how to write our own backends)

Kind regards,

Benjamin.

Hi Benjamin,

If it’s any help to you, we use LDAP through Active Directory for our authentication system.  We use the django-auth-ldap package.  It’s been a little tricky with the upgrade to Python 3/Django 2, but it’s quite manageable.

Unfortunately, I can’t help you much with Kerberos authentication.

Thanks a lot for your response, we use django-auth-ldap too, for openldap, but for regular AD, I am still waiting some stuff, I started to modify my settings.py, hope this works.

No problem for Kerberos, maybe someone will read my post and give advices !
