I've implemented Simple User Folder. A few thoughts: . Never ever test Simple User Folder (SUF) in root because if, for example, getUserDetails is just a tad buggy you will henceforce be unable to login to root :-( . Its very good and reliable ... just test it out .. spend time with the examples that are provided w/it. . Take a look at the fields that native (zope) authentication expects: name, password, roles and domains ... your external DB must have fields with these names (unless you want to re-write parts of SUF).

I have implemented [ simple user folder ] based acl_users. After customizing all the zsqls , when i click on acl_users i see a list of check boxes followed by icons. but names are not being displayed. I cheked the href . It has

ce%20at%200229C628%3E&submit=Edit
the getUserName sql is SELECT DISTINCT login as NAME FROM staff
the getUserDetails sql is SELECT login as NAME,pword as password,role FROM staff WHERE staff.login=<dtml-sqlvar name type="string">
Am I doing anything wrong?
I don't know anything about the signature SUF expects, but does it really want the user name to be NAME? It also seems like there should be a WHERE clause on the getUserName method. If it gets the right number of users but doesn't display the name, there's a mis-spelling or a failed query somewhere.
