Do you think it is possible to extend LDAPUserFolder to add Active
Directory support? Anybody willing to help working this out?
Anybody know if it's possible to make a hack from Active Directory to
export & convert all LDAP-info to an OpenLDAP-server?

The best practice to manage large user-accounts is probably to
authenticate Apache to  an (Open)LDAP-server and to use the same
(Open)LDAP-server to authenticate for Zope. Is there a way to only
authenticate once, and give the security-information to Zope?
