Tryton has the ldap_autentication module that’s used to autenticate users to and LDAP server. Currently python-ldap is used to talk with the ldap server. In order to support Python 3 (and other python implementation like PyPy), we should replace python-ldap by ldap3.
In addition, we would like to implement an optional mechanism to automatically synchronise LDAP groups with the Tryton groups.
I think porting the ldap3 is to small for a GSoC so I propose to add also the implementation of a mechanism to automatically synchronise LDAP groups with Tryton groups.
Just to clarify: Under normal conditions for a Tryton developer, an issue is assigned to you by yourself when you start working on it, later on conditions may change, but usually you want to finish your issue
It’s just for those issues related to the GSoC that the assignation process seems different.
