Re: Installing source of python-ldap in suse...

[Jens V. <je...@zo...>]

josef,

first of all, i urge you to read more documentation in order to familiarize 
yourself better with basic concepts of LDAP, python and systems maintenance.

the warning you get means that the ldap module has been compiled with an 
*older* version of python than the python that runs your zope installation.
  that means you did not point the python-ldap configuration/compilation 
machinery to the correct python binary. even if it appears to be working 
correctly i would try and recompile the module with the correct python 
binary.

questions about the LDAPUserFolder are off-topic for this mailing list, 
which concerns itself with questions about the python-ldap module but not 
really with software that is built on top of python-ldap.

there is no concept like the LDAPUserFolder "catching" a user from the LDAP 
server. all users that can be found in the LDAP branch that you configured 
in the user folder with the users base/users search scope settings will be 
usable for authentication, provided the users also have some roles attached 
to them in the group entries that can be found in the LDAP branch you 
configured in the user folder using the groups base/groups search scope 
settings.
