Installation:

1. Place this File into lib/ or anywhere else

    'lib.Ldap3AuthBackend.Ldap3AuthBackend',
    # ^------------- or anywhere else
    'django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend',
    # '...',
]

What this Backend does:

1. It tries to bind and whoami to <LDAP_HOST> with given Credentials
2. It searches in <LDAP_GROUPS> for groupOfName members
3. It checks if user is in one of these members lists
4. It syncs the groups to Database
5. It assigns the appropriate group(s) to user

If no user exists in db - it will be created
