How to enable debug logging for django_auth_ldap

settings_logging.py

############################## django-auth-ldap ##############################
if DEBUG:
    import logging, logging.handlers
    logfile = "/tmp/django-ldap-debug.log"
    my_logger = logging.getLogger('django_auth_ldap')
    my_logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)

    handler = logging.handlers.RotatingFileHandler(
       logfile, maxBytes=1024 * 500, backupCount=5)

    my_logger.addHandler(handler)
############################ end django-auth-ldap ############################

Tremendously useful! Thanks!

Exactly what I needed, thank you!

Great stuff, it stopped the pain for me.

Adding this to settings.py can also print errors to console:

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