Thats not how authentication works. You list
'django_auth_ldap.backend.LDAPBackend' in
settings.AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS, and call
django.contrib.auth.authenticate() with the username and password.

This will return a user object correctly annotated with the backend
used to authenticate them; this can then be used in the call to
login(), which will set the appropriate session variables.

See the docs for more info:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/topics/auth/customizing/

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/topics/auth/default/#auth-web-requests
