[Zope] Authenticate users using a already defined Mysql-Database

[Hedley Roos]

I do that with LoginManager. There is an example somewhere on zope.org.

However it seems as if LoginManager has fallen out of favour, so you might
consider other alternatives.

Subject: [Zope] Authenticate users using a already defined
Mysql-Database


Hi,

wanna migrate my web-project from an proprietary sql-based solution to a
zope-project, because I see many benefits and pro's from zope.

But I've the problem that I have to migrate about 200 users from my
SQL-Database into Zope.
I've seen projects like mysqlUserFolders but these have another
table-structure.

So my question:
Is there an easy way to authenticate via Zope using my own database/tables ?

table users;
| uid | username | password | surname | firstname |

This means, that Zope gets the username from that table and authenticates it
using the password in this table.
It's a bad idea to change the current database-structure, because there
exist many foreign-keys that refers to 'uid' etc.

Any ideas ?
