Where default LDAP password should be added

I have LDAP setup to use credentials before do any query. So i saw in alerta v7.2.4 code there is no way to specify LDAP auth credentials, only for users if they are found.

Should I specify auth credentials on ldap.conf file?

Right now I have issue:

=> LDAPError - INVALID_CREDENTIALS: {'desc': 'Invalid credentials'}

I suppose this is because before do any query in LDAP this can not authenticate to LDAP server.

I came with an update for anyone who want to use alerta with LDAP (openldap). Of course there is no issue with 7.2.4 version, it’s just using the simple bind with does not need any extra authorization like “ServiceAccount”, a layer before doing a query for existing users on the LDAP server. And to be honest i like this approach, it’s simple and easily. All i had to do is:

LDAP_URL = "ldaps://x.x.x.x:636"
LDAP_DOMAINS = {
    'domain.net': 'cn=%s,ou=Users,dc=domain,dc=net'
}

Ok, I will close the issue for now. I will take a look to python-ldap lib how it works and then i will open PR with the changes needed. Thanks.
