I'd like to authenticate in Zope off of another external server. So, say, user "bob" with password "secret" logs into Zope -- we then call https://otherserver.com/auth?username=bob&password=secret, parse the response, and the user is authenticated (or not) based the response.
I did something similar with exUserFolder folder. It contains a https authentication module, which was easy to adopt. The difficult part however was https, since the ssl support in the core of python 2.2 regularly crashed -- at least on the mac I use for development. So I switched to m2crypto. Markus Kemmerling
