title: Testing authentication in Django
body: <p>I'm trying to implement LDAP authentication in a test Django project. I think I've done all the configuration correctly (I'm using the django_ldap_auth package) and I want to test the authentication without having to create a whole site with log in etc. Is that possible ? FYI, I'm only doing this as a part of making LDAP the main authentication method at my company, and have to plug the functionality into a large project.</p>
  
  <p>I've tried running the server on localhost and ssh-ing through the terminal, but apparently that only logs me onto my own computer, I think :) (not an experienced Linux user).</p>
  
  <p>Any suggestions ?</p>
