Apparently, all you use from Zope is its authentication.

You might use Apache instead for the WebDAV access and use its external authentication to just delegate authentication to Zope.

I've briefly considered this before, but AFAICT all it does is handle authentication, not authorization. In other words, apache will authenticate against zope, but you still need to use .htaccess files to tell apache which users can access which data. Am I wrong? I'd love to be wrong :-) -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com
