I do that with LoginManager. There is an example somewhere on zope.org. However it seems as if LoginManager has fallen out of favour, so you might consider other alternatives.

But I've the problem that I have to migrate about 200 users from my SQL-Database into Zope. I've seen projects like mysqlUserFolders but these have another table-structure. So my question: Is there an easy way to authenticate via Zope using my own database/tables ? table users; | uid | username | password | surname | firstname | This means, that Zope gets the username from that table and authenticates it using the password in this table. It's a bad idea to change the current database-structure, because there exist many foreign-keys that refers to 'uid' etc. Any ideas ? ________________________________________________________________ Viren?
