Yes, I have done it with the CMF version of LDAPUserFolder. The key was to use another tool (Softerra LDAP Browser) to figure out the schema, but after doing that, and making the appropriate entries in LDAPUserFolder, it worked. The only thing I tried was authentication. I did not try to get groups or other properties. Unfortunately I have deleted that particular CMF instance, so I can't recall what settings I used to get it to work - bummer.

My company has commissioned me with constructing an intranet and as we already have a user/group database in MS Active Directory, the platform we choose should be able to authenticate against that. I would like to use Zope instead of some prepackaged MS compatible product. I've tried several different methods including exUserFolder, LDAPUserFolder and jcNTUserFolder. I have been able to populate an acl_users folder with users from my local Windows machine. But I need Active Directory. I've heard that it should be possible but I've never heard of anyone actually doing it. Has anyone successfully authenticated users against an AD system? If so, HOW??
