[Zope] How to set-up authentication of pages

[Chris McDonough]

You would probably do well for yourself by reading the chapter entitled
"Delegating Control" in the Zope Content Manager's Guide.  It can be
found at http://www.zope.org/Documentation/Guides/ZCMG-HTML/ZCMG.5.html

You can allow Apache (or another webserver) to authenticate visitors
itself, but in practice it may be better to let Apache pass the
authentication request over to Zope.  Much of the Apache/Zope
coexistence story is detailed in the file WEBSERVER.txt in the doc
directory off the top-level of your Zope installation.
