Issue type

[ ] Feature request
[x] Bug report
[ ] Documentation

Auto-assingment of groups doesn't seem to work between LDAP and custom groups as per this topic here created on the discussion board. LDAP debug log shows that the groups are discovered but group membership is not added. Group memberships work with the default groups in netbox.

Environment

  • Python version: Python 2.7.5
  • NetBox version: NetBox (v2.1.4)

Description

To replicate the issue;

  1. Create a group in netbox, assign it some permissions
  2. change ldap_config.py and add the group assignment as per post and restart to reload config (if needed)
  3. Login with user (no change if user is deleted first)

NetBox doesn't handle much in the way of LDAP itself. Is there something we need to adjust in NetBox, or should this issue be raised with the django_auth_ldap project?

Closing this out as it's probably an external library issue, but please comment here again if this needs to be reopened.

Just a note here as well, Using "AUTH_LDAP_MIRROR_GROUPS = True" is the way to get this working. Using "AUTH_LDAP_USER_FLAGS_BY_GROUP = {}" only sets the flag as true/false and thus doesn't work for other than the 3 pre-defined roles.
