After evaluating zope (building a few test websites) our state agency (Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks) is planning a pilot project to use Zope on Linux to build an intranet to integrate existing web applications/services. Currently these applications run on NT servers and were developed using Ultradev, active server pages (IIS) and MS SQL Server. We do have The Zope Book but have some startup/newbie questions: How do you setup zope/zserver to use existing NT user id/passwords to access Zope web apps so we don't have to maintain an acl-user folder with duplicate user id/passwords? Note I have reviewed postings/how to's about ntuserfolder/jcntuserfolder but I am not confident that I REALLY understand how they're used. (i.e. ntuserfolder not usable on Linux Zope?) Any advice or clarification would be much appreciated.

If trying to authenticate from a linux server against an NT server, I think you need to user smbUserFolder <http://www.zope.org/Members/mcdonc/smbUserFolder>. I haven't used it personally, so that's about as far as my help goes. tim

From Unix you need to use smbUserFolder to do this:
http://www.zope.org/Members/mcdonc/smbUserFolder The other option, and more flexible and scalable in the long term, might be LDAPLoginAdapter http://www.zope.org/Members/jens/news/LLA_1_4 against W2K Active Directory though I'm not sure if anyone has reported pulling this off.

I would be interested in hearing any success or failure stories when it comes to using LDAP and Active Directory.

I checked all the products that do this. ntuserfolder does not work with anything else than win. Others lack decent documentation, or were frighteningly complex to install. Finally I'm using the exUserFolder product, with the built-in smbauthsource. It was easy to install, and works out of the box. It is also documented. Gee
