[Zope] Migrate exUserFolder back to User Folder

[Chris Crownhart]

Thanks for the info.  It looks like my version of exUserFolder uses 
crypt for the password encryption.  It also looks like User Folder 
allows you to use crypt (I haven't figured out how) to encrypt your 
password, through it's AuthEncoding module.

My question would be:  If I can get the encryption planets to line up, 
how do I copy the crypted password from an exUserFolder record to a 
standard User Folder object?

Thanks,

Chris
