Dieter,

Thanks for the suggestion. But, making a user folder for such a purpose,
would that preempt the current Zope logon dialog box? I was thinking more
along the lines of authentication with the ZServer immediately following the
Jetspeed authentication. Are you saying use the specialized user folder to
transact authentication for both, as a replacement for the current Jetspeed
UI? I believe Jetspeed authentication takes place through the Turbine
framework. I will check it more closely. Thanks.

John
