Question #121487 on Graphite changed:

chrismd requested for more information:
Disconnect, this is by design. Graphite's authentication isn't for
security as much as it is for giving users' distinct profiles so they
can save their own graphs, change profile settings, etc. Securing the
webapp more of a function of configuring apache or whatever web server
you have in front of Graphite.

Owen, do you have any accounts in the django user database already? If
so they will take precedence over LDAP accounts of the same username. If
you try logging in as a user that exists only in LDAP, do you get a
server error or just an authentication failure message?

Also, in general you do not want to edit settings.py because your
settings will get blown away the next time you upgrade or if you
reinstall Graphite. Instead, create a local_settings.py from the
included example file. That overrides things in settings.py.
