[Zope] Dumb question: Can Zope be used as a LDAP server?

[Eron Lloyd]

Twisted (http://www.twistedmatrix.com) is where you would want to be for=20
something like this. At some point in Zope 3, Twisted and Zope may become=
=20
more aware of eachother, so my suggestion is to help develop a Twisted-ba=
sed=20
LDAP server, which could then easily communicate with Zope.

Hope this helps,

Eron
