        ==================
        
        Overview
        --------
        
        simplon.plone.ldap provides a user interface in a Plone site to manage
        LDAP and Active Directory servers.
        
        It builds on the functionality provided by LDAPMultiPlugins_, LDAPUserFolder_
        and PloneLDAP_.
        
        
        Active Directory
        ----------------
        
        Active Directory provides an LDAP interface to its data. Using this interface
        Plone can use both users and groups from an Active Directory system. Writing
        to Active Directory is not supported.
        
        With Active Directory you can use two different properties as login name:
        `userPrincipalName` and `sAMAccountName`. `sAMAccountName` is the plain account
        name without any domain information and is only unique within a single domain.
        If your environment only uses a single AD domain this option is the best
        choice. For environments with multiple names the `userPrincipalName` attribute
        can be used since this includes both account name and domain information.
        
        
        Since Plone does not support binary user ids it is not possible to use the
        `objectGUID` attribute as user ids. Instead you can use either `sAMAccountName`
        or `userPrincipalName`. The same criteria for choosing a login name also
        apply to selecting the user id attribute.
        
        Standard LDAP
        -------------
        
        LDAP directory servers are fully supported. LDAP users and groups are usable
        as standard Plone users and groups can be me managed normally. Creating and
        deleting users and groups is supported.
