[Zope] AUTHENTICATED_USER

[JP Glutting]

Does anyone have any more information on AUTHENTICATED_USER? We saw a while 
back that it has properties (AUTHENTICATED_USER.has_role(['Manager', 
'Editor'])). I would like to be able to get the user name, and use that to 
index simple files for users. Is there something like 
AUTHENTICATED_USER['UserName']?? This is essentially the information that is 
returned if you try <!--#var AUTHENTICATED_USER-->. However, if you try 
something like <!--#if "AUTHENTICATED_USER in objectIds()"-->, it does not 
work.

The only way I have been able to use this information so far is to put 
<INPUT TYPE=hidden name=userID value="<!--#var AUTHENTICATED_USER-->">
in a form, and pass it in a REQUEST to another page. But I want to be able to 
get this information directly. I have even tried REQUEST.set('myUser', 
AUTHENTICATED_USER) inthe header, but this has the same problem 
(unsurprisingly) as AUTHENTICATED_USER itself.

Any hints?

Thanks,

JP
