Johan, The variables/objects you name are used as part of the UserDB product, this product allows you to authenticate against a RDBMS instead of the user-folders as you normally would. It has a few more advantages such as cookie based authentication etc. HTH Phil phil@philh.org -----Original Message----- From: zope-admin@zope.org [mailto:zope-admin@zope.org]On Behalf Of Johan Carlsson Sent: Tuesday, October 12, 1999 11:34 AM To: zope@zope.org Subject: [Zope] __ac_name and __ac_password Hi, I notised that the www.zope.org site uses the properties __ac_name and __ac_password for form-based userauthentication. After not finding anything like that in my Zope 2.0.1 installation I assumed its part of the Portal Toolkit Member function? Can anyone confirm that? And when may we see the Member function released?
