I need to replace acl_users for a given folder (thankfully not the root) with something that will read from a database AND do cookie-based authentication (so HTML login screen, rather than basic auth). SimpleUserFolder, which was a snap to set up, doesn't seem to do the latter. PluggableUserFolder 2.4.1 seemed to not like Zope 2.7. A previous workplace used GenericUserFolder, but it's rather obsolete. Suggestions? -roy

I have used CookieCrumbler + SimpleUserFolder with some success. CookieCrumbler adds the HTML login screens you want, and seems to work with most UserFolder implementations. -- Jim Washington

Hi Roy, PluggableUserFolder works fine for me with Zope 2.7. I'm developing a sql_authentication plugin for PluggableUserFolder and am happy with the results so far. It also works seamlessly with CookieCrumbler (Standalone). I'm not ready to release the plugin into the wild just yet, but I can email you my current code if you want to take a look. Jim
