title: django REST ldap authentication with Cassandra
body: <p>I am writing a rest api using <a href="http://www.django-rest-framework.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">django rest framework</a>. I store my data in Cassandra. I am using <a href="https://r4fek.github.io/django-cassandra-engine/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">django-cassandra-engine</a> as my backend. My api works fine, but now I need add LDAP authentication.</p>
  
  <p>I intend to use this package called <a href="https://pythonhosted.org/django-auth-ldap/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">django-auth-ldap</a>. From what I understand django-cassandra-engine doesn't support django-auth module on which django-auth-ldap rely on?</p>
  
  <p>I have never worked with Cassandra before, and I consider myself a Django newbie.</p>
  
  <p>Can someone be so kind and give me few hints how can I do this? Much appreciated.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance!</p>
