[Solved]-Single sign on to Django site via remote Active Directory

The magic word herefore is kerberos authentication.

Your user does not authenticate against your django application but against your webserver. Your intranet probably has a kerberos service running, that authenticates your user for you and just gives you a user name in REMOTE_USER if he is authenticated.

You can then search your LDAP for specific Access Rights or have an own database with special access rights.

Here is a short article from CentOS. It is very important what your environment looks like, so all I cann do is show you the direction 😉
