That's a bit disappointing, but understandable. I see CoreSessionTracking is going in (nice). One thing I was also curious about was SSL in ZServer (with client certificate auth support - LDAPfolder integration, hmm, tasty), and possibly even the IE5 (and Mozilla, when the work is done) GSSAPI-compatible authentication support. There's a PyGSS module that would do that nicely, although I doubt it would work behind Apache/PCGI very well... I might take a look at this november-time. Would there be any momentum to get things like this into the core?

Is there going to be a pluggable/modifiable authentication source built into Zope any time soon, and if so which one? I'll go with that one for future proofing.
Nope. Well, at least not in the foreseeable future (see the 2.5 roadmap at http://dev.zope.org/Resources/zope_250_plan.html). It appears to be a wildcard at this time. -- Chris McDonough Zope Corporation http://www.zope.org http://www.zope.com "Killing hundreds of birds with thousands of stones"
