Hi: I need some very basic authentication (to enable users to post to a ZUBB for example), and I want to use XUF + ZODB as it is the simplest setup. However, reading the docs, they seem to suggest that using XUF + ZODB is not a good idea. I wonder why, is it not secure, fast, or stable enough? The authors seem to stress that using the XUF + ZODB is recommended for testing only. I do not intend to save much users info, just the basics: name, email, etc. Less than 10 properties altogher. Nor do I expect to have 100,000+ users ;-). Perhaps < 10,000. Has any zopista outthere successfully used XUF+ZODB for authentication in a production enviroment? On a similar issue, has anybody used XUF + Mysql? There's a pgSQL schema, but for some reason there's not Mysql, anybody knows why? I don't have pgSQL available, only Mysql (3.23.38), and would rather use it if there's no issues with that. Thanks, Jorge M. -- Jorge O.

Why do you need XUF? What does a normal user folder not do?

Yes. It proved worrying enough that I wrote SimpleUserFolder to solve the problems we encountered ;-) cheers, Chris

Because, it seems from reading the XUF docs, that XUF is more suitable for 'membership' type authentication than the normal user folder. Is that correct?

Thanks.

In what way is 'membership' type authentication different from 'normal' authentication? cheers, Chris

Guess they are the same thing, ha ;-). After reading the XUF docs I thought XUF provided more than the 'normal' authentication that comes with Zope...My booboo...
