There is no such setting and this problem has nothing to do with  
Zope. This is *purely* a firewall issue that needs to be solved by  
the firewall administrator with input from you. I don't know what  
CMFSin is or does, but at least for the LDAPUserFolder you probably  
know what LDAP server and port you want to connect to so you need to  
tell the firewall admin to allow that access.
