Import all ldap config classes in settings.py

[mac-chaffee]

As discovered in #642 , if you are using AUTH_LDAP_GROUP_SEARCH, you also need to specify AUTH_LDAP_GROUP_TYPE (since different LDAP providers have different ways of representing groups). However, AUTH_LDAP_GROUP_TYPE needs to reference an object of type django_auth_ldap.config.LDAPGroupType, which means those classes must be imported at the top of the settings file (discovered in #925 ).

Are there any known workarounds?

[mac-chaffee]

It is possible to workaround this, but it's pretty gnarly:

extra_settings:
  - setting: AUTH_LDAP_SERVER_URI
    value: '"ldaps://example.com"; from django_auth_ldap.config import GroupOfNamesType'
  ...
  - setting: AUTH_LDAP_GROUP_TYPE
    value: "GroupOfNamesType(name_attr='cn')"

Thank you ! I was stuck for ever on this issue and the work around work. This need to be merge asap as it is failing fresh install I think
