[Zope] Re: LoginManager and LDAP

[Corey Zimmet]

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.
