I have a zope powered site that uses basic authentication. In addition to the acl_users folder I have a database with user information, like name data and email address. Within this setup I want to give the user the opportunity to have his/her password sent by email in case (s)he has forgotten. How can I solve this problem within the current setup. I can't find a method that delivers a user's password and I fear it does not exist. Cornelis J. de Brabander
This is a little offtopic, but you seem to be creating more work for yourself by storing users in the acl_users folder AND storing additional data in an RDBMS. There are Zope Products (http://www.zope.org/Products) that allow you to directly authenticate against the Unix password file, an LDAP database, or a MySQL database. That might be easier for you in the long run. -- Stephen Pitts smpitts@midsouth.rr.com webmaster - http://www.mschess.org
