Issues with LDAP Auth (how to set search base, etc)

[ben-github]

Ok, I discovered that is won't try to do ldap auth if the user hasn't already been created. So I needed to switch to database auth, add my ldap users and then switch back to ldap auth (this should be documented / or better yet it would be nice new users could auto-populate). Once I did this, I can see ldap auth attempts, but only when using the

AUTH_LDAP_SERVER = “ldap://localhost“

line and not

AUTH_LDAP_SERVER = “ldap://ou=people,dc=example,localhost“

So I think my only issue now is setting the search base for ldap.

Looking at the code more, I see that it doesn't support indirect LDAP binds. I've got a patch that adds that functionality. Take a look at
ben-github@9703ef9

It doesn't change default behavior, but if you add a new LDAP_AUTH_SEARCH parameter, it uses that to search for the right bind address. New options are documented with config.rst
