Re: [Zope] html form authentication

30 Mar 2003


      Perhaps it would be quite valuable to take CookieCrumbler or some equivalent  
and have it migrated into the official core (like the Core Session Manager 
was)? It seems enough people are looking for this feature...

Regards,

Eron

use the CookieCrumber product (-> search zope.org) to do cookie-based
authentication. do not attempt to "hand-roll" authentication by calling
methods on the user folder. it will not work.

Hello,
I want to authenticate users from acl_users with my own HTML form and
a python script.
I can't use user._getPassword() because it's an internal method.
and it seems user.authenticate function calls browser authentication
again.
How could I achieve this?
This is the code I use:
*************** ZPT "form" ***************
...
        <form action="login" method="post">
          <table class="form">
            <tbody>
              <tr>
                <th class="text">Name: </th>
                <td><input name="user" size="12" maxlength="12"
value=""></td>
              </tr>
              <tr>
                <th class="text">Password: </th>
                <td><input name="password" type="password" size="12"
maxlength="8" value=""></td>
              </tr>
              <tr><td> </td></tr>
              <tr>
                <td align="center">
                  <input type="reset" value="Clean">
                </td>
                <td align="center">
                  <input type="SUBMIT" value="Submit">
                </td>
              </tr>
            </tbody>
          </table>
        </form>
...
*********************************************
*************** Script (Python) "login" ***************
request = container.REQUEST
RESPONSE =  request.RESPONSE
user = container.acl_users.getUser(request.user)
try:
    if user.authenticate('the_password', request):
        print 'OK'
    else:
        print 'FAILED'
except AttributeError:
    print 'User doesn\' exist'
return printed
*********************************************
Thanks in advance,
Iñigo
