Gerard, For ideas, you may want to take a look at some of the alternate User Folder implementations. We still need help on deciding an API for user folders. You may want to participate in the discussion at http://www.zope.org/Members/michel/Projects/Interfaces/UserDatabase to help determine outcome of that.

Hello,
I am looking into a solution to extend the normal acl_user management interface.
First, I want to have properties associated with a user. This could for example be the email, the real name or their preferences to view a site.
Second, I want to replace the normal basic authentication method by a new form that will have authenticate a user through his username, his password and a number that will only be known by the server and the user and that will change on each login. This will most certainly require custom properties and methods usable for each user.
I've seen there are different products available (GUF, LoginManager), but I couldn't understand if they where able to do what I want. Any hint on how to use such a product to do this?
It also seems to be possible to subclass the acl_user folder. Is there any document explaining how to do this?
Best regards,
Gérard Métrailler Jr.
