    to use ldap login with MS Active Directory:

        from gluon.contrib.login_methods.ldap_auth import ldap_auth
        auth.settings.login_methods.append(ldap_auth(
            mode='ad', server='my.domain.controller',
            base_dn='ou=Users,dc=domain,dc=com'))

    to use ldap login with Notes Domino:

        auth.settings.login_methods.append(ldap_auth(
            mode='domino',server='my.domino.server'))

    to use ldap login with OpenLDAP:

        auth.settings.login_methods.append(ldap_auth(
            server='my.ldap.server', base_dn='ou=Users,dc=domain,dc=com'))

    to use ldap login with OpenLDAP and subtree search and (optionally)
    multiple DNs:

        auth.settings.login_methods.append(ldap_auth(
            mode='uid_r', server='my.ldap.server',
            base_dn=['ou=Users,dc=domain,dc=com','ou=Staff,dc=domain,dc=com']))

    or (if using CN):

        auth.settings.login_methods.append(ldap_auth(
            mode='cn', server='my.ldap.server',
            base_dn='ou=Users,dc=domain,dc=com'))

    or you can full customize the search for user:

        auth.settings.login_methods.append(ldap_auth(
            mode='custom', server='my.ldap.server',
            base_dn='ou=Users,dc=domain,dc=com',
            username_attrib='uid',
            custom_scope='subtree'))

    the custom_scope can be: base, onelevel, subtree.

    If using secure ldaps:// pass secure=True and cert_path="..."
    If ldap is using GnuTLS then you need cert_file="..." instead cert_path
    because cert_path isn't implemented in GnuTLS :(

    To enable TLS, set tls=True:

        auth.settings.login_methods.append(ldap_auth(
            server='my.ldap.server',
            base_dn='ou=Users,dc=domain,dc=com',
            tls=True))

    If you need to bind to the directory with an admin account in order to
    search it then specify bind_dn & bind_pw to use for this.
    - currently only implemented for Active Directory

    If you need to restrict the set of allowed users (e.g. to members of a
    department) then specify an rfc4515 search filter string.
    - currently only implemented for mode in ['ad', 'company', 'uid_r']

    You can manage user attributes first name, last name, email from ldap:
        auth.settings.login_methods.append(ldap_auth(...as usual...,
            manage_user=True,
            user_firstname_attrib='cn:1',
            user_lastname_attrib='cn:2',
            user_mail_attrib='mail'
           ))

    Where:
    manage_user - let web2py handle user data from ldap
    user_firstname_attrib - the attribute containing the user's first name
                            optionally you can specify parts.
                            Example: cn: "John Smith" - 'cn:1'='John'
    user_lastname_attrib - the attribute containing the user's last name
                            optionally you can specify parts.
                            Example: cn: "John Smith" - 'cn:2'='Smith'
    user_mail_attrib - the attribute containing the user's email address


    If you need group control from ldap to web2py app's database feel free
    to set:

        auth.settings.login_methods.append(ldap_auth(...as usual...,
            manage_groups=True,
            db=db,
            group_dn='ou=Groups,dc=domain,dc=com',
            group_name_attrib='cn',
            group_member_attrib='memberUid',
            group_filterstr='objectClass=*'
           ))

        Where:
        manage_group - let web2py handle the groups from ldap
        db - is the database object (need to have auth_user, auth_group,
            auth_membership)
        group_dn - the ldap branch of the groups
        group_name_attrib - the attribute where the group name is stored
        group_member_attrib - the attribute containing the group members name
        group_filterstr - as the filterstr but for group select

    You can restrict login access to specific groups if you specify:

        auth.settings.login_methods.append(ldap_auth(...as usual...,
            allowed_groups=[...],
            group_dn='ou=Groups,dc=domain,dc=com',
            group_name_attrib='cn',
            group_member_attrib='memberUid',#use 'member' for Active Directory
            group_filterstr='objectClass=*'
           ))

        Where:
        allowed_groups - a list with allowed ldap group names
        group_dn - the ldap branch of the groups
        group_name_attrib - the attribute where the group name is stored
        group_member_attrib - the attribute containing the group members name
        group_filterstr - as the filterstr but for group select

    If using Active Directory you must specify bind_dn and bind_pw for
    allowed_groups unless anonymous bind works.

    You can set the logging level with the "logging_level" parameter, default
    is "error" and can be set to error, warning, info, debug.
