Hey all, I'm currently trying to setup a custom zope instance for our c.s. department at school. Currently we run a totally linux infrastructure with ldap authentication which we would also like to tie into zope. My question is not how to authenticate against ldap, but I was wondering if there is a way to disable the default user folder and in automagically put an ldapuser folder in its place on creation of a new instance. I'm kinda new to zope, and I'm sure it's possible, but if someone could at least point me in the right direction i would appreciate it.
If you're talking about "instance" as in installing a Zope $INSTANCE_HOME, then you could "prepare" a ZODB where you have done all that manually and re-use that for every instance you build out. If you run ZEO and they all connect to the same database there is no need - you switch it out once and all instances "see" that. jens
