Hey all,
I'm currently trying to setup a custom zope instance for our c.s.
department at school. Currently we run a totally linux infrastructure
with ldap authentication which we would also like to tie into zope. My
question is not how to authenticate against ldap, but I was  
wondering if

there is a way to disable the default user folder and in automagically
put an ldapuser folder  in its place on creation of a new instance.  
I'm

kinda new to zope, and I'm sure it's possible, but if someone could at
least point me in the right direction i would appreciate it.


If you're talking about instance as in installing a Zope  
$INSTANCE_HOME, then you could prepare a ZODB where you have done  
all that manually and re-use that for every instance you build out.  
If you run ZEO and they all connect to the same database there is no  
need - you switch it out once and all instances see that.

If you do replace the top user folder with one that depends on an 
outside source, you better learn how to use the Emergency User. 
Because you will at some point mis-configure the LDAPUserFolder and lock 
yourself out.
