LoginManager can do this. It's alluded to in the documentation, but there's no description of exactly *how*.
Dang! I was hoping that someone would say that (and then hoping that someone *wouldn't* say that). I guess LoginManager is the most versatile authentication scheme we have for Zope, but every time I've tried to get my head around it .... Kaboom! Thanks for the pointer Jim - I guess I'll have to look at it again, I've tried using a pluggable brain with the UserDB UserQuery SQL method, but it doesn't seem to work (the combined new roles field is not being returned).
