[Zope] User Source choices

[Holger Lehmann]

We had a close look at all products available for sroting users in a sql db.

We tested:
GUF    -- did not work with Zope 2.2.x (yet)
MySQLUserFolder  -- colleague of mine had some trobles o this thing being
                                 outdated
UserDB -- works for us, but has some logical problem that has an impact on
                performance when having a lot of users. We will try to fix
                that asap.
LoginManager -- thoug being called the best here is it did not yet work for
                          us. We would like to get things started up with
                          LoginManager but constantly fail to get it up and
                          running.

As a Database we are using MySQL without any problems so far.

PS: you might want to visit zdp.zope.org and look under Zope FAQ -> Topic 14. 
"Scalability" for a FAQ about user folders.
