README for the Zope LDAPMultiPlugins Product
The LDAPMultiPlugins provides PluggableAuthService plugins that use
LDAP as the backend for the services they provide. The
PluggableAuthService is a Zope user folder product that can be extended
in modular fashion using various plugins. See DEPENDENCIES.txt for
software needed by this package.
**Tested Platforms**
This version of the LDAPMultiPlugins has been written on and for
Zope 2.7.3 and up, and with LDAPUserFolder version 2.6 and up.
**Caching**
The results of some calls into the plugins provided by these package can
be cached using the Zope ZCacheable mechanism:
- In the Zope Management Interface (ZMI) of your PluggableAuthService
instance, select 'RAM Cache Manager' from the dropdown, give it an ID
and configure it according to your needs.
- Click on your LDAP/ActiveDirectoryMultiPlugin and use the 'Cache'
ZMI tab on the far right to associate the newly created RAM Cache
Manager object with the plugin.
Now your plugin will use the RAM Cache Manager object to cache results
from some of the possibly expensive API calls.
**Special features - Active Directory Multi Plugin**
* Properties of the ADMultiPlugin instance:
* groupid_attr - the LDAP attribute used for group ids.
* grouptitle_attr - the LDAP attribute used to compose group titles.
* group_class - the LDAP class of group objects.
* group_recurse - boolean indicating whether to determine group
memberships of a user by unrolling nested group relationships
(expensive). This feature is not guaranteed to work at this moment.
