If it's possible to use a existing userdatabase or authentication source 
I would prefer to use that. With 
http://www.zope.org/Products/PluggableAuthService/ it's very easy to let 
zope authenticate against any kind of database or source (including 
MySQL/LDAP etc). And if it's a custom source it's not difficult to write 
your own authentication plugin.

Where and how are these accounts stored now? LDAD/ADS or something else?
