Zope 3 clues for getting started
We're considering Zope 3 for some new sites and for re-factoring some existing projects. Initially, we want to use it as an authentication engine for the existing sites and then then it will control the new sites as they come online. This is early stages (I haven't managed to install Zope 3 yet) so we have some reading to do but I wonder if I could get some answers to a couple of simple questions: 1. I assume the Zope 3 authentication engine is at least as capable as the Zope 2 one in that you can assign roles to users and require roles for a page to display? 2. Is it possible to keep the users' passwords in clear text so they can be emailed if the user requests it? 3. Where is the API documented that we call to check if a user/password combination is valid? 4. Where is the rest of Zope 3 documented? I've found this http://www.zope.org/Wikis/DevSite/Projects/ComponentArchitecture/FrontPage/Z... but it doesn't seem complete. Thanks for any help. -- Dale Strickland-Clark Riverhall Systems Ltd - www.riverhall.co.uk London UK

Within Zope3 itself; you get a full-featured API browser built in. The pluggable auth interfaces can be looked up there.

There are two books on Zope 3 for sale, one by Stephan RIchter and and one by Philipp von Weitershausen. Both are somewhat behind the times as Zope 3 has evolved rapidlly. -- Martijn Pieters
