LDAPUserFolder --- AttributeError: getMemberInfo

Hi all

A friend of mine is struggling with Plone and LDAP. I'm not so familiar with
the domain, so I'm forwarding his message to the list.

At first glance, `membership` is expected to be a Plone `MembershipTool`
implementation, and evidently it isn't. Possibly that LDAPUserFolder isn't
implementing the complete `MembershipTool` interface, or it isn't being
set up successfully?

---------- Forwarded message ----------

I have set up a CAS for unified login credentials, and a "corporate"
addressbook. Therefore I have added LDAP functionality to Plone (using
plone.app.ldap). [...] LDAPUserFolder CMF Tools 2.27 seems to be the main
culprit: As soon as I activate this product, things go haywire - and the header
disappears.

(Note: I have been using the very same CAS for other applications, including
mail, without and issues.)

Even without LDAPUserFolder CMF Tools 2.27, I do not seem to be able to extract
properties from the OpenLDAP directory, such as full names (Plone property:
fullname, LDAP name: cn), which is really quite trivial.

Seems I am barking up the wrong tree somewhere?
