how to use ldap for authentication for app in django?

I want to use LDAP authentication for my application. My application is taking the input from user and storing details such as firstname,lastname in database. When I write following code in my settings.py file but I didn't get any error for that and application is running normally. So how can I know that LDAP is using in app or need some modifications in app. Please help me. I used basic settings from Django documentation.

import ldap
from django_auth_ldap.config import LDAPSearch, GroupOfNamesType
# Baseline configuration.
AUTH_LDAP_SERVER_URI = "ldap://ldap.example.com"
AUTH_LDAP_BIND_DN = "cn=django-agent,dc=example,dc=com"
AUTH_LDAP_BIND_PASSWORD = "marksheet"
AUTH_LDAP_USER_SEARCH = LDAPSearch("ou=users,dc=example,dc=com",
    ldap.SCOPE_SUBTREE, "(uid=%(user)s)")
AUTH_LDAP_GROUP_SEARCH = LDAPSearch("ou=django,ou=groups,dc=example,dc=com",
    ldap.SCOPE_SUBTREE, "(objectClass=groupOfNames)"
)
AUTH_LDAP_GROUP_TYPE = GroupOfNamesType(name_attr="cn")
AUTH_LDAP_REQUIRE_GROUP = "cn=enabled,ou=django,ou=groups,dc=example,dc=com"
AUTH_LDAP_USER_ATTR_MAP = {
    "first_name": "firstname",
    "last_name": "lastname",
}

Thanks...

It seems you are trying to do this using the django-auth-ldap package. For this setup, your settings are missing the most important part, namely adding django_auth_ldap.backend.LDAPBackend to your AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS.

Refer to the django-auth-ldap documentation for more detailed setup instructions.
