I am currently (one of many probably) inching along towards getting PTK/LoginManager/Membership working and wondered if somebody could point me in the right direction to get the pieces working together. I have installed the PTK, made a portal. I then replaced the acl_users in the portal directory with a loginmanager. Then I added a Portal Membership System, which seemed to replace a bunch of methods and added a bunch of new ones. Looking at my portal [http://entity.ummu.umich.edu:8080/portal] I now get the nice login dialog when I login but it doesn't work. I figure I most likely need to install a usersource.

From this howto [http://www.zope.org/Members/jok/SQL_based_LoginManager] I stole some methods that seem to be the sort of thing I would need to link the login process to a database (in my case a MySQL user table). I put them, as listed below, into my persistant user source. But I am not sure how to link these new methods in my usersource back to my login form. Here is the list of contents from my usersource :

MySQL_database_connection (Z MySQL Database Connection) SQL_change_password SQL_check_user SQL_get_password SQL_get_roles userAuthenticate userExists userRoles I have no idea whether these are the correct method names that the loginmanager is looking for to authenticate. Does anyone have any pointers on this ? Also I now have 2 login forms - one in the root of the portal folder and the other in the acl_users folder. Which is the one that I need to edit ? I say edit because I see this line in both of them : <form action="<dtml-var SCRIPT_NAME><dtml-var PATH_INFO><dtml-if QUERY_STRING I'm thinking of how to link my login form to my user source - am I supposed to replace SCRIPT_NAME with userAuthenticate ? thanks for any help you can offer me.
