Hello Dieter, Yes, I have a working copy of mysqlUserFolder, and as suggested by Shane, I created a Portal with the internal acl_users folder, which I then deleted and replaced with the acl_users (MySQL Folder) -- authentication and session managment works pretty well -- although I ma not sure how will the load on the db be effected once it goes on the live system. Can you tell me the reason they use the internal methods as per your comment and why is it bad.

Has anyone implemented mysqlUserFolder with CMF? I am asking because I would like to use CMF with an existing MySQL database schema for authentication, but am finding it difficult to link the two methods / or merge the two. Do you already have a working "mysqlUserFolder"?
If so, just plug it in. It may work although the CMF uses internal methods of the "User" and "UserFolder" objects rather than the official API (which is bad, but I understand why they do it nevertheless ;-)). Dieter
