Fortunately it is possible to use cookies to get around that. Take a
look at the UserDB sample application for more details. (Note: we
don't support the UserDB sample application, it is just an example.)

The UserDB sample stores and retrieves user information from a
relational database. Thus, it provides an example of how to extend
Zope to get user information from an external source.
Where does one get hold of "UserDB"?
I looked under "Contributed Software",
but couldn't see anything obvious.
Which brings me to a suggestion - a "Search" tab at the Zope site to
search for documents/modules available at www.zope.org - reasonable?
(Note: the eGroups search facility has never worked for me, it is
either unavailable, or, as now, displays:
Sorry, an error occured while searching.
((for "UserDB" of course :-)))
