Description

Following the LDAP documentation for nested groups, I ended up with this error:

NameError: name 'NestedGroupOfNamesType' is not defined[2018-07-03 16:08:11 -0700] [14210] [ERROR] Exception in worker process

    AUTH_LDAP_GROUP_TYPE = NestedGroupOfNamesType()
NameError: name 'NestedGroupOfNamesType' is not defined

Turns out this line:

 from django_auth_ldap.config import LDAPSearch, GroupOfNamesType

needs to be replaced with:

 from django_auth_ldap.config import LDAPSearch, NestedGroupOfNamesType
