Proposed Release Note Entry

This release updates the LDAP configuration.

Please be sure to also check the release notes for version, 0.21.0 if you haven't done so already!

Adapt LDAP configuration #233

We've updated the LDAP caching configuration to match changes made to django-auth-ldap in 1.6.0.

Django-auth-ldap now uses different cache configuration options. Netbox adapted to this change back in v2.6, but since it was implemented in a backwards compatible way, no one cared to update our configuration until now.

What this means for you is that you should delete the environment variable AUTH_LDAP_CACHE_GROUPS and rename the variable AUTH_LDAP_GROUP_CACHE_TIMEOUT to AUTH_LDAP_CACHE_TIMEOUT.

Simpler permission selection #199 #200 #236

In the groups.yml and users.yml it is now possible to use wildcards when adding permissions:

# users.yaml
writer:
  password: writer
  permissions:
  - delete_device
  - delete_virtualmachine
  - add_*
  - change_*

Compatibility

This version is compatible with Netbox 2.7.x (and hopefully later versions as well).

⚠️ It is not compatible with Netbox 2.6.x or lower!
