Managing Identities: LDAP, Google Directory, and Django
summary
A Django-based identity manager that actually wires LDAP, Google Directory, Datatel SIS and Workday together for a 2,200‑student campus, with concrete wins and pain points: Django-based identity manager uses python-ldap and Google Admin SDK, a pip‑installable CCA utils library, TMI’s read‑only MySQL layer via inspectdb, and CSV shuffling to survive legacy APIs. Password strength uses zxcvbn, activation flow creates LDAP+Google accounts (works in production), tests require a custom test‑DB workaround and a 200‑line activation routine.
