Products.LDAPUserFolder

install LDAPUserFolder

Asked by Sam Capiau

Dear,

I am a student in Belgium, and currently trying to create a demo issuetracker as a demo for a company I would like to work for after I finished school. In this demo, I would like to connect to a ldapserver, by using the LDAPUserFolder product in Zope. However, I cannot install this tool.

My question is, what exactly needs to be done to install this tool, because I also think I need to install this other tool, the LDAPMultiPlugins tool, but I am not really sure about this. When I unpack these packages in the "C:\Zope\2.11.4\Zope\lib\python\Products" folder and restart Zope, I can't find them in the management section of Zope. Can someone give me some more detailed information?

Many thanks in advance,

Sam Capiau

Please read INSTALL.txt and README.txt in the package. If you have specific questions after reading the package documentation you may ask them here.

Dear,

I have read these files, but i still got some questions:

- what is meant by "Make sure to move the extracted LDAPUserFolder folder to your Zope installation's lib/python/Products-folder"? Does this mean that, after having extracted the package, that I only need the "LDAPUserFolder" inside the package and put it into the lib/python/Products-folder? What about the other folders and files ("Products.LDAPUserFolder.egg-info" and "Products")?

- I need a (working) python-ldap module installed. Where can I find this one; is this the LDAPMultiPlugins tool?

Many thanks for your support,

Sam

Sam,

It sounds like you are managing products manually. In that case, I think you need to move the 'LDAPUserFolder' from inside the Products folder that was unpacked into your Products folder for zope.

Products.LDAPUserFolder.tgz ->
    Products.LDAPUserFolder.egg-info
    Products
      LDAPUserFolder (copy this to C:\Zope\2.11.4\Zope\lib\python\Products\)

Python ldap is a module available on the Python Package Index. There are installers for various versions of Python on Windows, you will need to install the proper one for your situation. http://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-ldap/

Can you help with this problem?
