[Zope] Using the authenticate method of an authenticated user

[Stefan H. Holek]

Asad!

It is not possible to do this from TTW code. Write an ExternalMethod and 
make it look something like:

def check_password(acl_users, name, password, request):
    user = acl_users.getUser(name).__of__(acl_users)
    return user.authenticate(password, request)


Then do yourself a favour and stop using DTML, it is a waste of time. ;-)

Stefan
