Question #821845 on Graphite changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/graphite/+question/821845

Description changed to:
I am trying to replace our very old graphite-web server (v0.9.12) with a
new one running 1.1.10-5.

On the old server, users login using  LDAP credentials so they can save
graphs. Users logging in for the first time are added automatically.

The same settings in local_settings.py on the new server don't work.
Attempts to log in return an error "Authentication attempt failed,
please make sure you entered your login and password correctly"

I've tried dialing up logging in apache and in both places in
local_settings.py (DEBUG=TRUE as well as the section importing the ldap
module and setting logging verbosity to 65535).

In every case the only thing that logs anywhere is a POST in apache's
access log. tcpdump shows no outgoing traffic to our ldap servers during
an attempt. It appears that the request isn't making it as far as the
ldap libraries.

Grateful for any guidance....
