When I tick the check box to enable LDAP authentication from general settings, am getting the error msg as mentioned below.

"Unable to install module "auth_ldap" because an external dependency is not met: Python library not installed: LDAP"

Thanks.

Hi,

It is due to missing python package, install ldpa python package using below command:

I ran that command. It started the installation process but soon after that I got this erroe msg:

Failed building wheel for python-ldap
Running setup.py clean for python-ldap

If you do have Ubuntu you can install : apt install python3-ldappool 

This will install python3-ldap for you. I hope that helps.
