Originally created by @frank-f on GitHub (Apr 4, 2019).

Environment

  • Python version: 3.6.6
  • NetBox version: 2.5.9 (Github HEAD)

Steps to Reproduce

I have a new, fresh NetBox installation with just the admin account added to the system and I am trying to use LDAP authentication. Contrary to the sample configuration my layout requires me to use "AUTH_LDAP_GROUP_TYPE = PosixGroupType()".

See also 6f5c35c278 (commitcomment-33030014)

After removing that line and logging into NetBox with a valid LDAP account once, further login attempts with an unpatched middleware.py work perfectly fine.

Expected Behavior

Users can log ing and appropriate flags will be assigned according to their group membership.

Observed Behavior

As soon as I set this, I was getting an AssertionError upon every login attempt.

Traceback:
