[Answer]-Django auth ldap with custom user model

✅

This is the part of django_auth_ldap‘s models.py – 

class TestProfile(models.Model):
    """
    A user profile model for use by unit tests. This has nothing to do with the
    authentication backend itself.
    """
    user = models.OneToOneField('auth.User')  # <-- here is the trouble
    is_special = models.BooleanField(default=False)
    populated = models.BooleanField(default=False)

You cannot fix it unless you fix this part of the code and do as said in Django documentation –

Instead of referring to User directly, you should reference the user
model using django.contrib.auth.get_user_model(). This method will
return the currently active User model – the custom User model if one
is specified, or User otherwise.

And I wont recommend modifying the 3rd party packages yourself. If you can, go suggest the change to the developer, or send them a pull request. Once it’s accepted, update the package.
