Yes, it is bad form to answer ones own questions, but ... I had not read the documentation carefully. The answer is that the specifications for targets is user:password@usr:port/path-to-ZSyncer-instance and is as elegant as it gets. It uses Basic Authentication and is documented in the README I neglected to read as this is the fifth version of ZSyncer I've installed and I thought I knew the product.

Paul,
Just moved all our systems to ZSyncer 0.7.0 and have encountered a problem related to authentication.
In our past setup, using ZSyncer 0.5.1, we use the ability to specify a user:password to provide a single authorization mechanism that could be used by all of our developers.
Now we've stumbled onto the fact that ZSyncer 0.7.0 has eliminated the optin al user:password specification. Some of our users can use ZSyncer and others cannot. It's not clear what authorization is being used -- I suspect it is ownership, but I have not investigated.
So, how do I configure things to allow a subset of my developers to use ZSyncer transparently?
