SQL authentication
I'm trying to implement a SQL-based login. It looks more difficult than I anticipated. Here's what I need: - Zope based web system where anonymous users can register. - Registered users should be able to login using a web form. - A free webmail system using the IMP. IMP is PHP-based, so I guess I must use SQL for my user list in order to share user info among Zope and IMP. LoginManager is unfinished, documentation is too sparse. Also it was last released more than a year ago, so I'm not sure whether it's being developed. GUF has good docs but I have problems implementing it. I'm looking for the easiest solution. Something that is well documented, including examples. -- Milos Prudek

IMHO, you're better off using LDAP rather than an SQL-based solution. At least, if sharing the user-information between Zope and PHP is the only reason for using a RDBMS. LDAP is quite well supported by PHP, and you could for example use the Zope LDAPLoginAdapter (http://www.zope.org/members/jens/LDAPLoginAdapter) on the Zope side of life, which quite well documented, incl. some examples. hth, ta -------------------------------------------------------------------------- smartferret it-consulting Dipl.-Ing.

But exUserFolder is at version 0.5... that is too low for me... also very limited documentation. -- Milos Prudek

If 0.5 is too low 4 u ask the author to rename it or how you can contribute to solve this issue ;-) -- _______________________________________________________________________ Andreas Heckel andreas@easyleading.org LINUX is like a wigwam...no gates...no windows and an apache inside ;-)

Andreas, I appreciate your advice, but I think that perhaps it's a little bit off-hand. I did contribute to a few Open Source projects. Mostly KDE 2.0 documentation. I lack knowledge to help develop Zope, because currently I'm struggling to understand it well enough to USE it. It would take me more than a year to get to the level of knowledge required to improve Zope. In the meantime, I'm searching for a mature SQL authentication solution that I can use today, that is reliable and well-documented. -- Milos Prudek
