Server Error
There was a problem with your request. Please contact an administrator.

The complete exception is provided below:

<class 'django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured'>

LDAP authentication has been configured, but django-auth-ldap is not installed.

Python version: 3.9.20
NetBox version: 3.1.9

So, went ahead to try to install python-ldap and i get this error
error: command '/bin/gcc' failed with exit code 1
[end of output]

note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.
ERROR: Failed building wheel for python-ldap
Failed to build python-ldap
ERROR: Failed to build installable wheels for some pyproject.toml based projects (python-ldap)

IIRC, should be applicable also to version 3.1.
