LDAP authentication product updated

If you have a working ldapmodule and a working ldap server, you might be interested in a revised version of a Zope product called LDAPAdapter which was hacked from the IMAPAdapter. It acts like an acl_users folder but allows authentication from an LDAP server.

More usefully, it also grabs the names of the groups the user happens to be in and adds them to the user's roles (plus, LDAP of course) - this potentially allows you to manage zope roles (and thus access to zope objects) through your ldap groups.

Seemed like a good idea to me anyway. It's only been lightly tested so please report bugs or success to [email protected]

(Note, this is a bugfix release - users of 0.0.1 are strongly advised to update due to a potential security hole which has been plugged....)
