[Zope] [Newbie] Making my own authentication form

This is a FAQ that I have never seen a good answer for...
I have never found a how-to or any references to the API.

The best solutuion I have seen is to search for "User products" that
implement their own way of doing things. (search for CookieCrumbler,
XUF..etc.)  And read the source.
But this doesnt really help you with your question...
"how to do it yourself."

IMHO, this is a shortcoming of Zope and since I am lobbying for this... :)
Add your 2 cents in that "the acl_users API be extended for HTML
login-forms, cookie auth, and extensible-properties-of-users" should be
added to Z2.6.  An API needs to be defined to deprecate all these user
solutions that dont play well together.

Cheers,
Trevor
