As far as I know, Enfold Server has some of the most
sophisticated
Active Directory interaction and we do not support adding
users nor
groups to Active Directory. There are other mechanisms we
provide to
add custom members/groups to Plone. But manipulating a
canonical
authentication source from the CMS has been requested by any
purchaser
of Enfold Server nor any of our clients at Enfold Systems
have asked
for.
If other people have this use case I would love to hear
about it. None
of our clients would allow us to write to Active Directory.
Cheers,
