Thanks for the kind offer of help :)

I've downloaded SUF, had a look around and it seems, well, nice and
simple, but I still have one issue: I need to bypass Zope's (HTTP
Basic) authentication - the users will already have been authenticated
by a separate part of our website, and a cookie will have been set.

So I'm armed with this cookie, and the corresponding information in
the db - i.e. the user and his roles.

Is this a job for Extensible User Folder, or can I still do it with
SUF (how)?

Thanks

Felix.
