[Typo3-dev] LDAP System Extensions II

[Daniel Thomas]

Hi Masi,

thanks for your feedback.
I agree with all points.
The first focus was making the framework as widely deployable as 
possible.
With people using it, it will be easier to tackle UI things.

I think a dozend or so standard configurations like
Active Directory Authentification
Novell Directory Group Synchronisation
Address Synchronistation ADS => tt_address
...
provided in an t3d import file would be a good start to make things 
easier.

Regards

Daniel
