I couldn't agree more. Zope really needs login forms and a proper way for users to logout. I know that there are products that try and do these things but it should be built-in. On Thu, Mar 07, 2002 at 03:06:10PM -0500, Trevor Toenjes wrote:
This is a FAQ that I have never seen a good answer for... I have never found a how-to or any references to the API.
The best solutuion I have seen is to search for "User products" that implement their own way of doing things. (search for CookieCrumbler, XUF..etc.) And read the source. But this doesnt really help you with your question... "how to do it yourself."
IMHO, this is a shortcoming of Zope and since I am lobbying for this... :) Add your 2 cents in that "the acl_users API be extended for HTML login-forms, cookie auth, and extensible-properties-of-users" should be added to Z2.6. An API needs to be defined to deprecate all these user solutions that dont play well together.

Hi all, I'm a Zope really new user. I'm trying to writing a form to make users log in from a site page, without using the HTTP standard authentication window. How can I do this? What methods I have to recall and what paramteres I have to pass them?
Many thanks
