Does anyone have a simple (for a Zope newbie) way of associating =
properties with users?  I don't care whether the property is stored in =
the ZODB or externally in a SQL database, but what I want to be able to =
do is track a user as they navigate through my site and do certain =
things based on a property that belongs to that user.

Simply put:         User:  Whoever1
                   Property1:  123
                   Property2:  ABC

                         User:  Whoever2
                   Property1:  987
                   Property2:  ZYX

                   etc etc for many users.

I've looked at LoginManager using Zope release 2.3.0, but it seems =
overly complex for what I want and I can't get it to go anyway.
