Comment (by Scott Paul Robertson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>):
I'll provide OpenLDAP testing once the patch gets posted. If you're still
fairly close to the original patch it should work just fine with OpenLDAP.
With user.get_profile(): I'm not familiar with the backend code for this.
I'm guessing you're think of basically providing a dictionary straight
from LDAP? If so I'd at least make it an optional feature.
Improving the group handling would be great. Considering the current patch
just checks for staff or admin status it'd be nice to provide better
control. Personally I'd go for flattening the groups.
We might want to bring this over to the dev list once the patch gets
posted since other people aren't watching the ticket.
