I’ve been using django-auth-ldap for a while to auth against a single server (AUTH_LDAP_SERVER_URI in settings.py). There have been some changes in my organization recently, and I now need to be able to check against two different LDAP servers (actually: Active Directory, but I don’t think that comes into play here). Unfortunately there is not a single location that has all of the user info I need.
Is there any way I can configure django-auth-ldap to check against more than 1 server? The documentation seems to assume a single server/URI. I’d also entertain ideas outside of django-auth-ldap, but I’d really like to stick with it if possible because it keeps things simple.
django-auth-ldap 1.1 (just released) allows you to easily define multiple subclasses of the authentication backend that use different collections of settings. See http://packages.python.org/django-auth-ldap/#multiple-ldap-configs.
