I'm looking for a sequence of steps needed to configure and use the LoginManager. How to add users? How to add local roles? How to integrate it whith LDAP (not for now, but in the future)? How to use a RDBMS server, like PostgreSQL, to store the accounts (in case I cannot put LDAP up an running)?
I haven't actually announced this outside of the PTK list, because this stuff is still subject to change. But, the Membership Product can give you some pointers on getting a LoginManager running. http://www.zope.org/Members/tazzzzz/Membership Make sure you have PythonMethods installed. After you set up a Membership system, you'll end up with a functional, configured LoginManager. The reason I warn people that future versions may not be compatible is that the user objects that are created in the current Membership product may have their data stored differently in the next version, and it's probably not worth writing conversion code at this point. I don't believe they are available at this time, but it won't be long before there are both LDAP and SQL UserSources for LoginManager, I'm sure. Once this happens, all you need to do is install those UserSources and your LoginManager will try to authenticate to them. Kevin
