I am using OpenLDAP. My passwords were stored with MD5 encryption. That is why I encrypt before checking the password that the user enters. LDAP suports various other encryption methods. You would need to know how you are storing your passwords. Have you tried ZLDAPConnection/ZLDAPMethods? ZLDAPConnection lets you browse the contents of the directory. This way you should be able to view how your passwords are stored.

I would think it would not matter what back end you use. If you can access active directory via Python external to Zope, there should be no reason why you can't acccess it from within Zope.

I can access it with LDAPAdapter from Zope (Linux), but I cant get authentication going. Probably because I dont know enough about LDAP and Active Directory.

I noticed that you did an md5_encrypt on the password. Is that common in

all

ldap servers, or do I have to do something else in Active Directory?
