[Zope-CMF] login programmatically

[Paul Erickson]

I haven't done this recently, so no guarantees, but at one point I had
done this with the following python code.:


from base64 import encodestring 
.
.
.

         token='%s:%s' % (username, password)
         token=encodestring(token)
         token=quote(token)
         RESPONSE.setCookie('__ac', token, path='/')
         REQUEST['__ac']=token

         RESPONSE.redirect('Put the registration confirmation url
here...') 

Good Luck
