user.ldap_user not available?

[trnc-ck]

Hey,

I'm able to login. The user data gets populated in the django user model. I'm using JWT authentication through django rest framework. The only thing which doesn't work is user.ldap_user. It just raises

'User' object has no attribute 'ldap_user'

when e.g. print the user

print(request.user.ldap_user.__dict__)

Here's my config:

AUTH_LDAP_SERVER_URI = "ldap://ldap_container:389"

AUTH_LDAP_BIND_DN = "cn=admin,dc=foo,dc=bar"
AUTH_LDAP_BIND_PASSWORD = "secret"
AUTH_LDAP_USER_SEARCH = LDAPSearch(
    "ou=users,dc=foo,dc=bar", ldap.SCOPE_SUBTREE, "(uid=%(user)s)"
)

AUTH_LDAP_GROUP_SEARCH = LDAPSearch(
    "ou=groups,dc=foo,dc=bar",
    ldap.SCOPE_SUBTREE,
    "(objectClass=groupOfNames)",
)
AUTH_LDAP_GROUP_TYPE = GroupOfNamesType(name_attr="cn")

AUTH_LDAP_REQUIRE_GROUP = "cn=users,ou=groups,dc=foo,dc=bar"

AUTH_LDAP_USER_ATTR_MAP = {
    "username": "uid",
    "first_name": "cn",
    "last_name": "sn",
    "email": "mail",
}

AUTH_LDAP_USER_FLAGS_BY_GROUP = {
    "is_active": "cn=users,ou=groups,dc=foo,dc=bar",
    "is_staff": "cn=users,ou=groups,dc=foo,dc=bar",
    "is_superuser": "cn=users,ou=groups,dc=foo,dc=bar",
}

AUTH_LDAP_ALWAYS_UPDATE_USER = True

AUTH_LDAP_FIND_GROUP_PERMS = True

AUTH_LDAP_CACHE_TIMEOUT = 3600

AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = (
    "django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend",
    "django_auth_ldap.backend.LDAPBackend",
)

LOGGING = {
    "version": 1,
    "disable_existing_loggers": False,
    "handlers": {"console": {"class": "logging.StreamHandler"}},
    "loggers": {"django_auth_ldap": {"level": "DEBUG", "handlers": ["console"]}},
}

I'm having similar problems, basically if the user is new there is no problem, but if it already exists in the BD ´ldap_user` won't work

Edit: I'm using a custom backend following the wiki tutorial Edit2: still not the best solution but you can "fix it" by:

from django_auth_ldap.backend import LDAPBackend, _LDAPUser
### all your code, and when you need your ldap_user add:###
if not hasattr(user_ldap, 'ldap_user'):
    user_ldap.ldap_user = _LDAPUser(self, username)
