Proposed Changes

Hi!

In the LDAP section, you suggested to run the following command:

pip3 install django-auth-ldap

However, in closed environments, the repository is not up to date, and some of the packages can be really old.
When I tried to connect my netbox to ldap, I encountered the following error:

Cannot found module 'six' in djago.utils

And that's becasue the module six is no longer in django since version 3.
The way to fix this is to make sure all django packages are higher than version 3.
But becasue I had an older version of django-auth-ldap, my netbox failed to start from the moment I tried to configure it to work with ldap.

So my recommendation is to change this line to:
pip3 install django-auth-ldap>3

Also, to change the addition to the local_requirments file to:
sudo sh -c "echo 'django-auth-ldap>3' >> /opt/netbox/local_requirements.txt"

django-auth-ldap is an optional dependency. It is the responsibility of system administrators to ensure a reasonably recent release of the package is available to the installation environment. This is outside the scope of NetBox's documentation.
