Should I create new users with Plone Site Setup or with Active Directory?
Either way works, but Active Directory lets you pull in existing user information from outside Plone/Zope so users don’t need to remember two passwords. Also, because Active Directory keeps track of password changes, password changes will be reflected inside Plone as well. Creating simple Plone users from Plone Setup may be easy, but this information will remain in the Zope Object Database (ZODB).
