Would like to use Zope's LDAP adapter to manage logins. Don't know the first thing about LDAP, how to install on Linux, or how to populate LDAP directory with user accounts to make this all work. These are really good preconditions to use LDAP ;-)
Can somebody point me in a good LDAP direction? There is a Linux LDAP HowTo, called "LDAP-HOWTO.html". It explains, how you set up LDAP on Linux, and what auxiliary programs are available. There is also a program that can fill an LDAP directory.
There is the LDAP specification, an RFC. Not sure, whether you will be happy with it. Google may give you something more handy. Search for "LDAP introduction", or "LDAP tutorial". There is "python-ldap", a Python wrapper around the Open-LDAP Client library. There is the Zope product "LDAPUserFolder". Sure, there are myriads of other resources.... Dieter
