Large sites require LDAP or SQL PAS plugins and we
need champions to battle test this before or very soon after Plone
releases. If I had the time or capacity I certainly would, and I guess
if somebody else had time they would too. Unfortunately, it still hurts
people's perception of Plone if something as important as LDAP is
broken.
I completely agree with this, and I did some testing with LDAP /2.5
early on.
See :

I ground to a halt, however, because when asking info on plone-users, I
and many other people got insufficient or no answers. I don't know who
originally wrote PlonePAS but there's some giant gap in documentation.
If the original authors don't do documentation its hard for the rest of
us to write further docs, if we can't get it to work properly due to
lack of docs in the first place.
When we have time to throw at it we will get it working and I can blog
more, although we may skip 2.5 entirely and go straight to 3.0 later.
Its not exactly true to say that Plone "plays well with others" when
such problems exist with LDAP.
The real issue is the original authorsof PlonePAS, and/or people that
decided to put this in a release, need to give the rest of us some basic
info / docs so that we can "take it and run with it" (to use an
obnoxious sporting metaphor. ;-) )
