Active Directory login not possible because of bug in django_auth_ldap package v5.2

[jakobsen-lrz]

Hello,

after upgrading my Netbox instance to version 4.3.1, active directory authentication stopped working. In the end i was able to fix it, but i am pretty sure that the problem is caused by a bug in the django_auth_ldap package.

I have created a fix for the package, with an issue and pull request, but it still might take some time for a fixed release of the package.

The problem is that other users might run into this problem as well, when setting up AD-Authentication or updating their pip-packages. So i think we should have a temporary fix for the package, so that AD-Authentication works, until a new version of the package is released.

Thanks
