I can't help but notice the following 1) There are many zoper who need to use a login form to authenticate users 2) Most do not like http authentication 3) ZPatterns and LoginManager are good solutions, but are not appropiate for new users (compilation required, usersourse required ... &&&& poor documentation.
Why can't Zope's default authenication be form based? (cookie based, ZODB based ...) I answered a similar question recently (in the mailing list ;-)):

I searched reasonably carefully and found no mention of CookieCrumbler other than this post and one saying there was a terrible security bug with it (that has since been fixed). CookieCrumbler on zope.org has "No files are currently available for downloading." and no mention that it's part of the CMF. Searches on cookie authentication (even in the PTK list) bring up mostly Login Manager and stuff market as "do not use in production" or "no longer supported. use Login manager". It doesn't take much to see that the consensus is Login Manager. I agree that Login Manager is currently way too complicated for what many users need. I got so lost in unfamiliar and not yet well documented terminology that I just went with GUF. It's *much* easier to understand, but now I'm using a go nowhere product. I'm sure Login Manager is a great product and that in time it will be well documented. Given the amazing (and welcome) growth of Zope, I'm not surprised at the findings, but it's frustrating trying to fumble through so much information when it all seems to point to the same unwanted place. Thanks for the CookieCrumbler pointer, BTW. I'll have to check it out if I can figure out where to get it. ;-) _______________________ Ron Bickers Logic Etc, Inc. rbickers@logicetc.com
