[ANN] CMFLDAP product released
hi everybody, CMFLDAP is a standalone python product which replaces the membership tools in the CMF with LDAP-backend-compatible implementations. In order to work with an LDAP server it uses the services exposed by the LDAPLoginAdapter (http://www.dataflake.org/software/ldaploginadapter) and the LDAPUserManager (http://www.dataflake.org/software/ldapusermanager) products. **Important note** The minimum software requirements for this product combo are as follows: o Zope 2.3.0 or higher o a CMF CVS checkout or release after 4/27/01 o LDAPLoginAdapter 1.4beta3 or higher o LDAPUserManager 1.1beta2 or higher You can view some of the documentation and download the software at http://www.dataflake.org/software/cmfldap/. A Tracker at that same address allows you to easily file bug reports or feature requests for this product. jens
I tried to get this working on a Windows system a while back but was never able to get all the pieces together. It appears that the underlying LDAP objects are primarily available only on Linux. Now that this is available for CMF I'd like to try this again. Do you know of a site where I could get information on setting this up for Windows NT or 2K?

You'll definitely need an LDAP server for that. The ActiveDirectory of Win2K is basically an LDAP server, so it should do what you need. But I have no idea how to configure the connection strings correctly for 2K. Basic info can be found here: http://www.labmice.net/ActiveDirectory/AD_ldap.htm (It's just a google search result, so maybe there are better resources ...) Joachim

Sounds like you guys are looking for: http://www.it.uq.edu.au/personal/leonard/dc-prj/ldapmodule/ particularly, the section titled: Precompiled WIN32 install instructions It's got a link to the UMich LDAP binaries (you just need one DLL from there), and link to a zip file containing a ldap.pyd - which I just tried and seems to with with the Python 1.5.2 that comes with Zope 2.3.2. However, don't know if that .pyd file is current enough to work with the current Zope products (the .pyd looks like it might be v1.5a, while the current version on sourceforge is 1.10a3). I've been able to compile ldap.pyd files of v 1.10a3 for Python 2.0 and 2.1, and could try making a Python 1.5.2 if it's needed and none can be found elsewhere. Sure will be nice when Zope gets caught-up to Python 2.1. Barry
