I made a small Flask application and I would like users to be able to authenticate with their Windows NT IDs. I am not a part of the IT team, so I have limited insight into this area and my IT team is not experienced with Python.
How easy would it be to configure this? I tried to do some Googling and I saw LDAP modules and Flask-Security. I am hoping for a quick guide or to be pointed into a specific direction.
- There is an existing Active Directory and a lot of our internal websites use NT authentication
- I made a Flask app that I will be porting to our internal network
- I want users to be able to login to the site with their NT ID
- I need to know what information I need (an LDAP server and port?) or what I need to do with IT to get this configured properly without breaking any security protocols
Thanks!

It is quite easy to work with Flask as it is lightweight and plugin based Python web framework
Things you will need for LDAP Configuration
- LDAP Host
- LDAP Domain
- LDAP Profile Key
You need to install Flask-LDAP plugin
pip install Flask-LDAP and here is a basic example to get you started:
from flask import Flask from flask.ext.ldap import LDAP, login_required app = Flask(__name__) app.debug = True app.config['LDAP_HOST'] = 'ldap.example.com' app.config['LDAP_DOMAIN'] = 'example.com' app.config['LDAP_SEARCH_BASE'] = 'OU=Domain Users,DC=example,DC=com' ldap = LDAP(app) app.secret_key = "welfhwdlhwdlfhwelfhwlehfwlehfelwehflwefwlehflwefhlwefhlewjfhwelfjhweflhweflhwel" app.add_url_rule('/login', 'login', ldap.login, methods=['GET', 'POST']) @app.route('/') @ldap.login_required def index(): pass # @app.route('/login', methods=['GET', 'POST']) # def login(): # pass if __name__ == '__main__': app.run(debug=True, host="0.0.0.0") More details can be found here
