Introduction
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.
