The PloneLDAP product is intended to make it easier to use LDAP connections in a Plone website. It builds upon the excellent LDAPMultiPlugins and LDAPUserFolder products which provide the basic LDAP infrastructure. The extra functionality provided by this product require features beyond that are not part of the standard Pluggable Authentication Service, which is why they are not included in LDAPMultiPlugins. PloneLDAP integrates LDAP fully into your Plone site: * users in an LDAP database can be used as normal users in Plone. You can search for them, assign roles to them, create them and remove them. * groups in an LDAP database can be used as normal groups in Plone. You can view them, manage group members, create new groups and remove them. LDAP groups can only have LDAP users as members. LDAP users can be group members of non-LDAP groups. * member properties for LDAP users need not be stored completely in the LDAP database: you can mix LDAP and ZODB-stored properties.
In some places, PlonePAS acts as an adaptor to make PAS provide enough of GRUF's interface to satisfy Plone. All the monkey patches in pas.py, for instance, extend PAS with expected methods. PlonePAS also modifies Plone to work with PAS by providing partially-new implementations of several tools. In the tools/ directory you can see new tools for groups and members, as well as the utils tool. It also provides extra capabilities for PAS needed by plone, such as mutable property sheets, local role calculation, creation of group objects, and more.
