Hey guys,

I've managed to install the LDAP plugin on my Zenoss 5 server.

Instructions:
Start a new shell in the running zope service and save the service instance with a new name:
serviced service shell -s LDAP_Plugin -i zope bash

Install the prerequisite packages:
yum -y install gcc python-devel openldap-devel

Remove the data cached by yum:
yum clean all

Switch to the Zenoss user:
su - zenoss

Install the required packages using easy_install:
easy_install python-ldap-2.4.19.tar.gz
easy_install setuptools-git-1.1.tar.gz
easy_install dataflake.fakeldap-1.1.tar.gz
easy_install Products.LDAPUserFolder-2.27.tar.gz
easy_install Products.LDAPMultiPlugins-1.14.tar.gz

Exit twice

Commit the changes you have made:
serviced snapshot commit LDAP_Plugin

Restart zope:
serviced service restart zope

That's it.

Now you can follow the instructions for Zenoss 4 to configure the LDAP plugin.

Edit: Instructions can also be found on the wiki: http://wiki.zenoss.org/Enabling_LDAP_Authentication_in_Zenoss_Core_5
