Installing the LDAPUserFolder Product

  You will need a (working) python-ldap module installed for the 
  Python binary that is used to run your Zope install, see 
  "Important Hints" below.

  This product does not require any special handling after unzipping
  and untarring it in the Zope Products directory. You should do 
  something like::

    $ cp LDAPUserFolder-xyz.tgz <zope_root>/lib/python/Products
    $ cd <zope_root>/lib/python/Products
    $ tar zxvf LDAPUserFolder-xyz.tgz
    <watch files being decompressed>

  Windows users can use WinZip or similar, it can handle tarred 
  gzip files. Make sure to move the extracted LDAPUserFolder 
  folder to your Zope installation's lib/python/Products-folder.

  That's all. Do not forget to restart Zope afterwards.

  **Upgraders beware**

  In order to avoid problems everyone who upgrades from a prior 
  version of the LDAPUserFolder should delete and recreate any
  LDAPUserFolder instance they have!

  
  **Important Hints**

  Depending on your choice of Zope install (e.g. compiled from source
  or binary version) you need to make sure that the python-ldap 
  module (see README.txt) can be found by Zope.

  The first step after compiling the python-ldap module is to find 
  out if it works correctly by firing up your Python interpreter 
  (the same one that runs your Zope, that is) and typing "import ldap". 
  Then hit return. If no error message shows up the module is compiled 
  and installed correctly. Many people get tripped up by the fact that
  Zope binary distributions come with their own Python binaries, you must
  install python-ldap using that specific Python binary that is used
  by Zope.

  If you for some reason decide to run Zope on a certain OS from Redmond
  you might have difficulties getting python-ldap in a precompiled 
  version. The official python-ldap website lists some sources::
