for the posterity ...

finally i found a solution

its sufficient to return a user with only the anonymous role like this:


from AccessControl.User import SpecialUser

...

     def getUser(self,id):
         user = self._ps.get(id)
         if not user:
             user = SpecialUser(id,'',('Anonymous',), [])
         return user


cheers, bernd
