how to retrieve password in django 2.0?

Question

Im using ldap for user authentication in django 2.0, and i need to create an endpoint to authenticate user from another application just passing the username to then redirect them. Isnt yet something to retrieve the raw password?

Answer 1

Using the **encrypt** method imported from **django_cryptography.fields**, define a password attribute for the model LdapProfile (model related to User to store the user profile on ldap) and then, use this password attribute in ldap.authenticate(username, password).

password = encrypt(models.CharField(
    max_length=255,
        null=True,
        blank=True
    ))
