Chapter 18:
Authenticating with LDAP
Up until now, we have stored users and groups in the ZODB, using
Plone's built-in member management functionality. This works great
for standalone sites, but many organizations have centralized user
databases, which are often held in LDAP or Microsoft Active
Directory repositories. Using an external user database means that
site members do not have to be explicitly created in Plone, and that
users can keep the same username and password across multiple
systems.
In this chapter, we will look at how to connect Plone to LDAP and
Active Directory. We will also briefly look at how to manually
configure and prioritize plug-ins for PAS, Zope's Pluggable
Authentication Service.
