Well kind of, in the sense that you can check the user login using ACL in
the normal way and then you can match AUTHENTICATED_USER against your user
database so your database knows who it is.
It means maintaining your users in two places (in the ACL folder and in the
database), but it's a workaround until the GUF problems are ironed out or
login manager is up and running (with docs on how to use it).
I need this because I've got users inputting data via Zope and I need to
have a user ID I can stamp their data with - so all I do is -
select user_id
from users
where <dtml-sqltest AUTHENTICATED_USER column=username type=string>
in an SQL-method where AUTHENTICATED_USER is defined as an argument.
Seems to work OK !
that's what I'm doing until I (or someone else) finds out hot to get GUF
working again.
