[Zope] User's list using LDAPLoginAdapter

[Jens Vagelpohl]

go to the "Search" tab, select something other than "DN" on the search 
parameter dropdown and don't put anything into the search term text input 
box. when you hit the search button you  should get a list of all users, 
*if* you have everything configured correctly.

like i said in a previous email, i have only tested the software against 
standards-compliant LDAP servers that i personally have access to. i don't 
have any access to active directory (i refuse to run windoze, anyway) so i 
cannot guarantee that the product will work with active directory.

so far i know it runs with OpenLDAP, Netscape's LDAP server and a few 
hardy souls have told me they got it to work against Novell's directory 
server. i have had questions about active directory but no one telling me 
exactly if they got it to work or not and what it took to make it happen.

i am interested to make it compatible with as many LDAP servers as 
possible, as long as it doesn't take too much extra processing and 
overhead just to support a certain way of doing things required by a 
server. i have the fear that active directory, like so many microsoft 
adaptations of standards, is just ever so slightly different and would 
require a lot of special cases in the code... but then again i don't know.
