I've gotten it working with Postgres (with crypted passwords no less!) It took me a couple of weeks on and off to finally get that going. Yes, it was painful, especially having no prior experience with GUF (or much experience with Zope, for that matter...) I've not made it a very high priority, but I'm working on a LoginManager/PostgreSQL walkthrough hoping that I might save someone else some grief. That info should be easy to translate for any other datasource full of users you might have in mind. Interested?

What I read: "I see you're starving. Are you interested in some food?" Yes! I'm desperate for a way to use Oracle and/or X.500 databases for authentication (and authorization and ...). I would be happy to pay someone to hold my hand through creating such a product. (This is one of the first things I built into Apache so many years ago.) I'm a bit fuzzy on this, though. Shouldn't there be an easy way to generalize databases for this purpose? Why do we need PostgreSQL, Oracle, Gadfly, ... versions? I'd like to be able to just choose a connection ID and go. Thank you. --kyler
