Integrating Active Directory with Plone 4

How do you integrate Active Directory with Plone 4 on Ubuntu? I have searched the Internet up and down and cannot get this to work!!

All I know is that all you have to do is add "plone.app.ldap" in your buildout.cfg file and that will install the add-ons. However, every time I do this I get an error message. I have installed python-ldap 2.3.11 from the Ubuntu repos but yet I still get an error when I run bin/buildout.

When I run bin/buildount it starts Getting distribution for 'python-ldap>=2.0.6'. I don't understand why does it have to do that when I already have python-ldap installed and tested successfully!

I have Python 2.6.

Here is the message I get when I execute bin/buildout:

Now that you've actually included the error, it turns out this is a whole different issue. You can't build python-ldap without having the LDAP development package avialable. On any debian based system, such as ubuntu, you can use the excellent deb package metadata to do this for you.

$ sudo apt-get build-dep python-ldap
