   Well, if you don't use groups, yes, since for the moment,
silva.pas.base does not support groups.

   You can install LDAPUserFolder, and LDAPMultiPlugins from the same
author, after having installed the openid support, go in your
PAS acl_users, and create an LDAP Multi Plugin, configure it.

   That's done.

   If you use buildout, you can just simply add:

   eggs +=
       Products.LDAPMultiPlugins

   To install both of those products.

   I am going to let Kit reply to that, I don't really known, but this
might be a nice feature.

   Best regards,
