What is the difference between these two objects? My first impression of UserDb is that it is the GUF implemented as the Database HOWTO suggests, except that it handles all logins/permissions for the Zope level and not the application level.
They work the same way. GUF is more configurable, but much harder to setup. If you just want to authenticate out of a RDBMS backend and don't want to do anything odd (like encrypt your passwords?) UserDb will be fine. -- ___ // 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
