Hi *,
within the scope of google summer of code I am integrating zope 3's PAU with Plone's PAS and further enable (non-AT) content objects as source for users and groups. All functionality is developed in pure zope3, the plone integration is happening in a separate packages.
All documents describing the project, as well as links to the code can be found here:
The one thing I am missing is: why? PAS works fine and covers a lot more functionality than PAU and there are more PAS plugins than PAU plugins. It's also perfectly possible to use non-AT content as source for users with PAS as well as tools such as b-org demonstrate.
Exactly. I don't mean to pee on anybody's parade here, but IMHO Wichert is right. To be constructive, I think it'd be much more interesting to investigate hooking Plone up to an external authentication mechanism such as repoze.who.
Doesn't repoze already have a PAS plugin to do just that? Wichert. -- Wichert Akkerman <wichert@wiggy.net> It is simple to make things. http://www.wiggy.net/ It is hard to make things simple.
