I got a great start using Peter Herndon's django-ldap-groups which
completely satisfied my client's specifications at the time. I ended up
enhancing the Novell eDirectory backend somewhat for Django 1.3 and it
probably needs more attention for Django 1.4 - check the Django release
notes in the authentication backend area.

Anyway, I just uploaded it to github so you or anyone else can use it.
You should check Peter's site for licensing and to compare the original
with my adjustments.

http://pypi.python.org/pypi/django-ldap-groups/0.1.3

Also, google for "django ldap" to find a bunch of other ldap software.
