Hi Luis,
Zope is an application server, where you can run your own LDAP-administration software.
But the LDAP-Server is a standalone server which is not zope !
You can bind users in zope against users in LDAP (with LDAPUserFolder) but this did not mean that zope is a LDAP-Server.
Yes, but imagine the opposite: that you have a contacts database in zope and want it to be useable by, say, mozilla or any other mail client that can query ldap servers for its address book.
In my opinion it would make a lot more sense if data are kept in a dedicated LDAP Server and Zope uses LDAP to query this server. Besides that: OpenLDAP can use different backends to store data. But I don't know how much effort it would be to make it use Zope databases. Implementing the LDAP protocol itself within Zope seems a bit overkill for me. -- Free your mind and your ass will follow -- http://www.funkaffair.de
