I had the some problem about a month ago. I solved the user authentication problem using the jcNTUserFolder product, but this product doesn't get the NT groups as roles either. So I changed a couple of files in my Zope installation (User.py and Role.py in folder lib/python/AccessControl) and I got it. If you are interested in this solution, I can send these files to you and some installation instructions, but I don't think they would work with exUserFolder, so you would have to use jcNTUserFolder. By the way, I don't know if I should upload this solution to the Zope.org website, as it is not entirely a product, but I think it could be interesting for many people. If the Zope.org webmasters are reading this, please tell me if you want it or not. And if you do, please give me some instructions on how I should do this, as I have never uploaded anything there (name of the product, folder, password, etc).

I'm looking for a way to authenticate Zope users off an NT network; on this count, I know I'm fine - I've used exUserFolder's smb authentication support without a problem - but, in that case, roles have to be mapped manually. But I'm looking for a way to check to see if a user is in an NT group in order to assign particular roles. Does anyone know if there are any user folder products or Python libraries for doing this (determining if a user is a member of a group). Ideally, this would be something that could be done on a Unix based server authenticating off a WinNT box on the same network, provided that such is possible... Thoughts?
