LDAP Plugin for Zope2 PluggableAuthService (users and groups)
Project description
This is a LDAP Plugin for the Zope2 Pluggable Authentication Service (PAS).
It provides users and/or groups from an LDAP Directory. It works in a plain Zope2 even if it depends on PlonePAS. If Plone is installed an integration layer with a setup-profile and a plone-controlpanel page is available.
pas.plugins.ldap is not releated to the old LDAPUserFolder/ LDAPMultiPlugins and the packages stacked on top of it in any way.
It is based on node.ext.ldap, an almost framework independent ldap stack.
For now users and groups can’t be added or deleted. But properties on both are read/write. See section TODO.
Installation
Zope2
Add to the instance section of your buildout:
eggs = ... pas.plugins.ldap zcml = ... pas.plugins.ldap
Run buildout. Restart Zope.
Then got to your acl_users folder and add an LDAP-Plugin. Configure it using the settings form and activate its features with the activate tab.
Plone
Add to the instance section of your buildout:
eggs = ... pas.plugins.ldap
Run buildout. Restart Plone.
Then go to the Plone control-panel, select extensions and install the LDAP Plugin. A new LDAP Settings icon appear on the left. Click it and configure the plugin there.
To use an own integration-profile, just add to the profiles metadata.xml file:
... <dependencies> ... <dependency>profile-pas.plugins.ldap.plonecontrolpanel:default</dependency> </dependencies> ...
Additionally ldap settings can be exported and imported with portal_setup. You can place the exported ldapsettings.xml in your integration profile, so it will be imported with your next install again. Attention: The ldap-password is in there in plain text!
Source Code
If you want to help with the development (improvement, update, bug-fixing, …) of pas.plugins.ldap this is a great idea!
The code is located in the github collective.
You can clone it or get access to the github-collective and work directly on the project.
Maintainers are Robert Niederreiter, Jens Klein and the BlueDynamics Alliance developer team. We appreciate any contribution and if a release is needed to be done on pypi, please just contact one of us dev@bluedynamics dot com

History
1.2.0 (2014-03-13)
add property check_duplicates. Adds ability to disable duplicates check for keys in ldap in order to avoid failure if ldap strcuture is not perfect.
Add new property to disable duplicate primary/secondary key checking in LDAP trees. This allows pas.plugins.ldap to read LDAP tree and ignore duplicated items instead of raising:
Traceback (most recent call last): ... RuntimeError: Key not unique: <key>='<value>'.
1.1.0 (2014-03-03)
ldap errors dont block that much if ldap is not reachable, timeout blocked in past the whole zope. now default timeout for retry is 300s - and some code cleanup [jensens]
use more modern base for testing [jensens]
Add URL example to widget help information how to specify an ldap uri. [saily]
Add new bootstrap v2 [saily]
1.0.2
sometimes ldap returns an empty string as portrait. take this as no portrait. [jensens, 2013-09-11]
1.0.1
because of passwordreset problem we figured out that pas searchUsers calls plugins search with both login and name, which was passed to ugm and returned always an empty result [benniboy]
1.0
make it work.
base work done so far in bda.pasldap and bda.plone.ldap was merged.
