If you have a working ldapmodule and a working ldap server, you might be interested/willing to test a new zope product called LDAPAdapter available at http://www.zope.org:18200/Members/rossl/LDAPAdapter which essentially acts like Michel Pelletier's IMAPAdapter - except it authenticates from an LDAP server (doh!). More usefully, it grabs the cn's of the groups the user happens to be in making them available as the user's roles (plus, LDAP of course) - this potentially allows you to manage zope roles (and thus access to zope objects) through your ldap groups. Seemed like a good idea to me anyway. It's a fairly clumsy hack derived from IMAPAdapter and has been only lightly tested. Please report bugs or success to rossl@med.usyd.edu.au
