Hi,

Did you take a look at LDAPUserFolder product ??

With this product, you can :
 - store users definition into the LDAP database, instead of Zope ;
 - map LDAP users groups with Zope roles, globally or in a given context 
throught the use of LDAPUserSatellite objects.
Then, you give permissions to Zope roles normally, and then you can give these 
roles to users throught LDAP groups...

I use it for this and it works really well...
