[Zope] [ANN] LDAPLoginAdapter 1.0beta2 released

[Jens Vagelpohl]

The second LDAPLoginAdapter beta, a user folder replacement that
authenticates against an LDAP server, has been released.

Improvements and bugfixes include:

* Refactoring of all LDAP-connection-related code with the advantage of
clearer error messages and fewer lines of code. Any inabilities to
communicate with the LDAP server are caught right away when the server
information is edited in the management screens.

* Addition of API documentation accessible through the Zope Help system

After bug reports from people who tried to use the LDAPLoginAdapter on
pre-2.3.0-versions of Zope the documentation makes it clearer that 2.3.0 or
higher is needed to use this product.

Some of its features are:

* Freely select the LDAP attribute to be used as the user name

* Look up user records using the built-in search interface

* Written on and for Zope 2.3.0, including the new management interface and
copious documentation through the Zope Help System

* ...and more
