Re: [Zope] Logging in a user programatically...

from AccessControl.SecurityManagement import newSecurityManager ... newSecurityManager(None, user)

(where 'user' is the new user object you just created).

You couldn't do this in a pythonscript or dtml without creating a fairly massive security hole, though. You'd be able to do it with an external method, but you'd want to make sure only the person who's creating the account can call it.

Sorry for asking, but what exactly does this do? Without either having a cookie or the BASIC AUTHENTICATION info from a user, how could Zope log somebody in and make sure that it is just that person (and his browser session) that gets access? Cheers Joachim
