LDAP Authentication using plugin

[Dave]

Hello,

I am having some issues trying to use the LDAP plugin for authentication.

I enabled LDAP in the settings, and provided configurations for my LDAP environment. In this case I am using AD.

I am getting the following error when I click the 'LDAP Login" button that now appears on the login page:

```

ERROR:root:Traceback (most recent call last):

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
AttributeError: 'LDAPPlugin' object has no attribute 'handle_request'

INFO:Rocket.Requests:127.0.0.1 - "GET /myapp/auth/plugin/ldap/login HTTP/1.1" - 500 541

```

Looking at util/auth_plugins/ldap_plugin.py I see there is no handle_request method.

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you.

ldap and pam and majorly broken because they have not been fully ported from web2py.

I made a change in master that may may things better. Would  be great if you could help me test it.

In a few iterations we may be able to fix it.

Hi Massimo,

Thanks for your help!

I grabbed master.

Now when I click the LDAP Login button, it takes me to: /auth/plugin/ldap/login

There are no errors, but I just get a blank screen.

Thanks

Hello Dave,

in order to better debug I have created a new plugin:

                          
from py4web.utils.auth_plugins import UsernamePassword
auth.register_plugin(UsernamePassword(test_mode=True))

this plugin is very dumb. If the password is "password" is logins, else it does not. I then fixed the workflow using the plugin.

The LDAP plugin now extends this one so all workflow issues should be fixed. The LDAP plugin is a class with a single function check_credentials(username, password). If there is a problem now, it is in the latter and there is nothing py4web specific in there. 

Please give it one more try and maybe you can help me debug that check_credentials functions.
