I want to import the users of a ActiveDirectory database into Django. To this end I'm trying to use the django_auth_ldap module.
Here is what I tried already :
in my settings.py :
AUTH_LDAP_SERVER_URI = "ldap://example.fr"
AUTH_LDAP_BIND_DN = 'cn=a_user,dc=example,dc=fr'
AUTH_LDAP_BIND_PASSWORD=''
AUTH_LDAP_USER_SEARCH = LDAPSearch('ou=users,dc=example,dc=fr', ldap.SCOPE_SUBTREE, '(uid=%(user)s)')
AUTH_LDAP_GROUP_SEARCH = LDAPSearch('ou=groups,dc=example,dc=fr', ldap.SCOPE_SUBTREE, '(objectClass=groupOfNames)')
AUTH_LDAP_GROUP_TYPE = ActiveDirectoryGroupType()
#Populate the Django user from the LDAP directory
AUTH_LDAP_USER_ATTR_MAP = {
'first_name': 'sAMAccountName',
'last_name': 'displayName',
'email': 'mail'
}
AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = (
'django_auth_ldap.backend.LDAPBackend',
'django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend',
)
Then I call python manage.py syncdb with no result. No warning, no error, nothing updataed in the auth_user table. Is there something obvious I forgot to do ?

Looking at the documentation for django_auth_ldap it appears that the module doesn't actually walk through LDAP users and load them into the database. Instead, it authenticates a user against LDAP, and then adds or updates them in auth_users with the information it gets from LDAP when the user logs in.
If you want to pre-populate the database with all of the users in Active Directory then it looks like you'll need to write a script that queries AD directly and insert the users.
Something like this should get you started:
import ldap
l = ldap.initialize('ldap://your_ldap_server') # or ldaps://
l.simple_bind_s("cn=a_user,dc=example,dc=fr")
users = l.search_ext_s("memberOf=YourUserGroup",\
ldap.SCOPE_SUBTREE, \
"(sAMAccountName=a_user)", \
attrlist=["sAMAccountName", "displayName","mail"])
# users is now an array of members who match your search criteria.
# *Each* user will look something like this:
# [["Firstname"],["LastName"],["some@email.address"]]
# Note that each field is in an array, even if there is only one value.
# If you only want the first value from each, you can transform the results:
# users = [[field[0] for field in user] for user in users]
# That will transform each row into something like this:
# ["Firstname", "Lastname", "some@email.address"]
# TODO -- add to the database.
I have left the database update to you, since I don't have any information about your setup.
