[Zope] NewBie DTMl Help

[Kevin Carlson]

The best piece of advice I can give you is to use a python script to 
handle this.  DTML does not lend itself very well to handling form 
postings, IMHO.  Try creating a script that does something like this 
(untested):

RESPONSE = context.REQUEST.RESPONSE
auth = context.Authenticate_user()  # I'm assuming this returns a single row
if auth and len(auth) :
  if password == auth[0].upassword :
    return RESPONSE.redirect('main')
  else :
    return RESPONSE.redirect('somewhere_else')
