Add LDAP auth support

[dani]

I needed LDAP auth to use paperless (which I'm evaluating as a personal document management system), so, I've hacked it. It's pretty basic, only support users (not groups or fancy searches) but should fit most needs. Tested against a samba4 (AD style) directory only, but should work with most directories

Please rebase this on the dev branch.

[jonaswinkler]

• Also, some dependencies are missing for the build, apparently some header files required to build the python wheel.
• paperless ng uses Pipenv. Please install packages with "pipenv install --keep-outdated" and then generate the requirements.txt with "pipenv lock -r > requirements.txt".

[dani]

OK, I'll try to update the PR as soon as I have some spare time :-)

[dani]

Sorry, wrong push on my fork closed this PR, so reopening. I could rebase but the pipenv commands do not change anything in requirements.txt.

I've added the missing dependencies to the Dockerfile and in ansible/tasks/main.yml (libldap2-dev and libsasl2-dev), now the ansible test is passing, but the build-release is still failing. Where should I specify those dependencies for the build to succeed ?

[dani]

any hint ?

[tfmm]

@dani I looked at the build log, and it appears that the ldap development packages need to be added to the apt package install list. I would try adding these, and see if the build then completes.

libsasl2-dev
python-dev
libldap2-dev
libssl-dev

[dani]

But where's this list defined ? Is it the one in the Dockerfile or elsewhere ?

[tfmm]

The portion of the build that's failing appears to be docker, so yes, it should be the list in the Dockerfile.

[dani]

Looks like it's still failing on the lber.h (which should be installed with libldap2-dev)...

Hello I use paperless-ng and want to integrate it in app catalog of the project YunoHost, but for better support they require to have LDAP support. Can this PR be more under development please

[dani]

I'd like to go foward but I really have no idea why is the test build failing.

I'd like to go foward but I really have no idea why is the test build failing.

I think it’s because you need this
sudo apt-get install libldap2-dev

Are you sure the CI have this ?

[dani]

Well, I've added the dependencies in the Dockerfile. If they have to be specified somewhere else, I have no idea where

[andretheolauret]

I dont see Also error with, so i think you should mention project maintainer may he will can help you better

[TheFehr]

@dani in the .github/workflows/ci.yaml directory you'll probably need to add the dependencies as well

Line 188 and following ones I'd guess

[dani]

Looks like the build is now successful. Only the test coverage slightly decreased. Is this enough for the PR to be merged ?

[maxulm]

Would be great having this feature :)

[telvgehc]

Update?

[christianreiss]

Puh-leeez? :)

[hydrian]

Yea... Waiting on this before I can do a rollout of it to my family...

[Marook332]

I would love to test this feature :)
