The ZopeLDAP Product consists of two actual products in the same release: ZLDAPConnection for managing connections to LDAP Servers and returning Zope-ish Entry objects, and ZLDAP Filter Methods for querying LDAP Servers. You can see a model of it online. UserLDAP is similar to UserDb. It reads authentication information out of an LDAP Server and has customizable ZLDAP Filter Methods for looking up users. Adding/Editing/Deleting of users is not in this release. UserLDAP can make use of SHA1 and CRYPT encoded passwords. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ZopeLDAP requires David Leonard's ldapmodule, from http://www.it.uq.edu.au/personal/leonard/dc-prj/ldapmodule/ and the compiled module needs to be (naturally) in your PYTHONPATH (or in ZLDAPConnection/). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ http://www.zope.org/Members/jshell/ZopeLDAP/ This is a still-early beta with little documentation. The API, especially as shown in the model, *should* remain frozen at this point. All known issues (and there are some) are in the README.txt file in the release. -- Jeffrey P Shell, jeffrey@Digicool.com http://www.zope.org/
