The default LDAP backend works with OpenLDAP if the memberOf overlay is activated (see http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/overlays.html#Reverse%20Group%20Membership%20Maintenance) I.e., users must present the memberOf attribute to know what group they belong to. If your LDAP server only has groups with memberUid (or any other key like member) listing the users belonging to the group, then you need something different. This is what this module attemps to provide.
Using pip:
`
pip install airflow-alt-ldap
`
Activate authentication via this LDAP backend in airflow.cfg config:
`
[webserver]
authenticate = True
auth_backend = airflow-alt-ldap.auth.backend.ldap_auth
`
Then you can configure that module using the following keys (example conf to be adapted): ``` uri = ldap://localhost:389 user_basedn = ou=people,dc=nexmo,dc=com user_filter = uid=* user_name_attr = uid group_basedn = ou=groups,dc=nexmo,dc=com group_member_attr = memberUid group_filter = cn=* superuser_filter = cn=admingroup data_profiler_filter = cn=datagroup bind_user = uid=binddn,dc=example,dc=com bind_password = MyAwesomePassword # cacert = /etc/ca/ldap_ca.crt # Set search_scope to one of them: BASE, LEVEL , SUBTREE # Set search_scope to SUBTREE if using Active Directory, and not specifying an Organizational Unit search_scope = SUBTREE
