LDAP issues (linux)

I'm trying to get basic LDAP auth working.  I can get the
basic auth part
working.  But I have
two problems which are very annoying.

1. After adding any sort of LDAP auth (I tried two styles)
the
/plone/acl_users/plugins
object becomes nonfunctional (only Undo/Ownership/Interfaces
tabs are
there anymore).
That means I can't control the search order of auth modules
anymore, and I can't
deactive the plugin or select different kinds of LDAP
integration
(groups, enumeration etc).

2. After adding LDAP auth, the zope/admin user is no longer
recognized
by plone as
an 'admin' user.  So I have to define a 'ploneadmin' user,
and assign
it manager privs
before adding the LDAP module.

Has anyone seen these issues before?  Here are my versions:

zope 2.96 (using ubuntu/debian package on linux)
plone 2.53 (tried package, and then tried download tarball)
LDAPMultiPlugin 1.5
LDAPUserFolder 2.8
GroupUserFolder 3.53.3


One more detail:  I have tried using LDAPMultiPlugin, and
then I tried adapting
the GMail Auth module to use LDAP.  I got a working Product
which authenticates
against LDAP the way I want, but it ALSO causes the missing
'plugins'
functionality.
This happens even when LDAPMultiPlugin has been deleted.

I'm totally oblivious as to how LDAP works, but I'd give
Wichert's  
"PloneLDAP" package a go. He has collected
everything that's needed in a  
single package (well, everything needed on the Plone side
— you still need  
to have python-ldap etc installed) — and there's a control
panel. It  
should work with Plone 2.5 as well (although created for
Plone 3.0).
