Thanks for the reply,
Before I posted my question, I crawled around lib/python/AccessControl/User.py, I saw both the _getPassword and authenticate methods.
But, getPassword raises the NotImplemented exception as noted below:
def _getPassword(self): """Return the password of the user.""" raise NotImplemented
Am I missing something?
Your looking at the base class BasicUser which defines the API. The userobjects you actually get will be of another class which uses this as a base clas, and will have overriden these methods. (eg. if you look further down this file you will find the User class which is the BasicUser implementation returned by the default acl_users folder (UserFolder). ___ // Zen (alias Stuart Bishop) Work: zen@cs.rmit.edu.au // E N Senior Systems Alchemist Play: zen@shangri-la.dropbear.id.au //__ Computer Science, RMIT WWW: http://www.cs.rmit.edu.au/~zen
