[Zope] Authenticate against active directory

Yes, I have done it with the CMF version of LDAPUserFolder.  The key was to
use another tool (Softerra LDAP Browser) to figure out the schema, but after
doing that, and making the appropriate entries in LDAPUserFolder, it worked.
The only thing I tried was authentication.  I did not try to get groups or
other properties.  

Unfortunately I have deleted that particular CMF instance, so I can't recall
what settings I used to get it to work - bummer.

Subject: [Zope] Authenticate against active directory


Hi all,

I just joined the list yesterday so if this has been covered let me know
and I'll look in the archives.  

My company has commissioned me with constructing an intranet and as we
already have a user/group database in MS Active Directory, the platform
we choose should be able to authenticate against that.  I would like to
use Zope instead of some prepackaged MS compatible product.  I've tried
several different methods including exUserFolder, LDAPUserFolder and
jcNTUserFolder.  I have been able to populate an acl_users folder with
users from my local Windows machine.  But I need Active Directory.

I've heard that it should be possible but I've never heard of anyone
actually doing it.

Has anyone successfully authenticated users against an AD system?  If
so, HOW??

Thanks for the help,

Jacob Behm,
