Maxime Bugeia commented on AIRFLOW-927:
---------------------------------------

I confirm this issue. LDAP is unusable in 1.8. Converting the configuration value with str(value) fix the issue.

> Function `get_ldap_connection` on airflow/contrib/auth/backends/ldap_auth.py does not understand 'future.types.newstr.newstr' objects coming from `configuration.get("ldap", "bind_user")` and `configuration.get("ldap", "bind_password")`.
> The same can be observed in the `group_contains_user` function. Here the `search` function does not consider the arguments `configuration.get("ldap", "basedn")`, `configuration.get("ldap", "superuser_filter")`, not `configuration.get("ldap", "user_name_attr")` as expected. 
> A quick fix would be to convert all these values to `str` as soon as they are read from the configuration file, but this is not a definitive fix.
