Re: [Zope] Checking Authenticated User Name???

The API docs mention something about an AuthenticatedUser class, but I can't find the object anywhere in my ./Zope/lib/python directory, and it doesn't appear to be a class in any of the zope modules that I searched through.

I did notice a reference to something like this...

REQUEST.AUTHENTICATED_USER.getUserName()

but, this doesn't seem like it would be any more secure than just assigning REQUEST.AUTHENTICATED_USER to a variable. "getSecurityUser()" gives you the user object. "getUserName()" gives you its name.
