There seems to have been a lot of discussion of LDAP on the mailing list. You may want to poke through a search on that and see if you can find anything. Some of the Identity stuff in the documentation and on the wiki at trac.turbogears.org discusses writing your own provider, which may help you understand what these ldap implementations are doing. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
