[Zope] Re: [Zope-dev] Authenticating with acl_users

[Jens Vagelpohl]

by the way, please do not cross-post to several lists. i am restricting=20=

this to the zope list because it is more appropriate.

i don't think you will have any success tring to "use" user folder=20
methods that have to do with authentication outside of the user folder=20=

itself, period. from your description it sounds like all you need is a=20=

user folder implementation that handles cookies. i suggest you=20
investigate the CookieCrumbler product (if you are married to your=20
specific user folder, that is) or you use a user folder that has cookie=20=

hanling built in.

i'm not sure what that "dont want to use any products that does not=20
come with a clean Zope install" is all about. most zope products=20
install by dropping them in the Products folder of either your instance=20=

or in the zope software tree. it doesn't get any cleaner than that.
