[Zope] RE: [Zope-CMF] mysqlUserFolder and CMF

[Norman Khine]

Hello Shane,

I have it working as suggested and it picks all the members I had added
using the mysqlUserFolder interface, now I have to integrate this into the
CMF registration and log in form.

The _addUser method, is this something I have to create or can I use the
existing docNewUser form provided with mysqlUserFolder? Can you expand on
this.

Many thanks

Norman

Try deleting the current acl_users and replacing it with a
mysqlUserFolder.  Authentication should work.  The new user registration
process should work if mysqlUserFolder has an "_addUser" method.
