>Hi,

>But I've the problem that I have to migrate about 200 users from

>So my question:
>Is there an easy way to authenticate via Zope using my own

>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 ?
