There are many possibilities. I would try exUserFolder first (it might work with just configuration (no code) for your use-case), and if you have needs more specific, you can develop your own user-folder type (a bit harder, but not much) using SimpleUserFolder (a generic "base class" for rolling-your-own user folders).

Thank you!

I am still trying to find out what Zope is and what it can do. I somehow missed the "alternative user folders" when I skimmed through the Zope Book. This was a pleasant surprise:

Or SimpleUserFolder: create a user folder class in a Zope product that subclasses both SimpleUserFolder and OFS.Folder. Then put ZSQL methods and a few TTW python scripts in the folder contents of an instance of this class to make it work. I've done something similar to this with relative success.

Hello,

I want to use the same usernames and passwords in Zope and

some other

servers. The usernames and password digests are stored in a PostgreSQL database, and a given username and password -pair can be checked with a simple SQL-query.

I need to modify Zope to look up and to save passwords in PostgreSQL.
