Can anybody confirm that LDAPUserFolder (1.6 beta 2) works ok with Zope 2.6.0? The docs mention it working with 2.5, but make no mention of 2.6. I am having some major issues) described below, which seem to stop me from being able to run it at all.
It is working for me (Zope 2.6.0b1 (binary release, python 2.1, linux2-x86), python 2.1.3, linux2).
I am running RedHat 7.3, openldap-clients-2.0.23-4, python-ldap-2.0.0pre06, and am trying to use LDAPUserFolder 1.6 beta 2. I have installed pythin-ldap for the copy of python included in my zope install, and have verified that I am able to connect to the LDAP server (MS Active Directory in this case), so there are no issues at that level as far as I can tell.
Can you do that with python as well? Does an 'import ldap' work when you use the python your Zope runs with?
However, I had to use python-ldap-2.0.0pre03-1.i386.rpm because I am using python 2.1.3.
Actually I meant that I am able to connect to it using python-ldap, using the python in my zope. So I can do a search through python-ldap, etc.
When I try to add an instance of the LDAPUserFolder, pressing the 'add' button results in a 'hang', with my browser never coming back. If I am browsing the zope mangement tree, and then try to hit the folder with the ldapuserfolder also 'hangs'. If I shut down everything, and hit the management url again (coming in completely unauthenticated), then I get the browser id/password popup, and entering in a name and hitting enter will also result in a hang.
I am able to go in via the zope admin/emergency use, and take a look at the ldapuserfolder, which seems to be ok, and kill it, etc.
So as far as I can tell, LDAPUserfolder is simply hanging when it goes in and tries to do a lookup. There is no exception, and nothing put in the log.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated...
If all else fails: perhaps this one helps:
Unfortunately I am not running LDAP on the same machine. I did consider the fact that perhaps this was the same issue, but the machine appears responsive otherwise. What is interesting is that after about 10 minutes it _does_ come back, saying that the user/credentials are not value. So LDAPUserFolder does not necessarilly think it has a problem, it just thinks there is an authenticaiton issue. Of course I would say if it takes 10 minutes there is a sever problem somewhere, never mind the fact that the authentication should work.. Colin
