Configured LDAP and login stuck at "Verifying" -- how to disable GRAVATAR for LDAP authentication?

Hello,

We just set up LDAP and when trying to log in, I see it is stuck in “Verifying…” when trying to “log in with LDAP”

We operate in secured/firedwalled environment, so I am used to checking firewall during issues like this. I notice that the ERPNEXT server is trying to contact 192.0.73.2:443 while we try to log in.

any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

UPDATE: SEE BELOW. This appears to be caused by a check to gravatar.com being required in order to let the LDAP user log in.

for now I resolved problem with this fix:
