Re: [Zope] zldap connections

I'm working on an alumni directory for the college, which uses openldap as the directory service. We are using acl's to restrict which attributes user have access to based on their context (staff, student, alumni, guest, etc).

This means that the alumni directory needs to bind to ldap as each user.

We want to use zldap, but the Ldap Connection object creates a connection, bound as one user. Is it possible to have 'dynamic' ldap connections (and use the rest of the zldap package), ones where you can re-bind as another user?

Probably yes, but I use "LDAPUserFolder" (which works this way). You can look at it to find out how to it manages its connection. Dieter
