I assume you’re using Django 1.11?

Please update to the master branch for django-python3-ldap.

Django 1.11 compatibility is part of the next release, coming very soon.

Note:

I was able to sync with python manage.py ldap_sync_users

If I remove AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = (“django_python3_ldap.auth.LDAPBackend”,) I can log in.

0.9.14 has just been released, adding support for Django 1.11.

Try upgrading to Django 1.11, and using django-python3-ldap 0.9.14.

Is there anything in the server logs / console output for the failed admin login?
