[Zope3-Users] Authentication howto

[Christophe Combelles]

Since this is the third time I see this question, I've pasted it on the FAQ.
http://wiki.zope.org/zope3/FAQ#i-want-to-quickly-setup-authentication-with-users-and-permissions

Feel free to review and correct what I wrote

>     sm.registerUtility(pau, IAuthentication)

>     sm['authentication']['EztranetUsers'] = users
>     sm.registerUtility(users, IAuthenticatorPlugin, name="EztranetUsers")
>     # activate the auth plugins in the pau
>     pau.authenticatorPlugins = (users.__name__, ) # a tuple with one

>     #activate the wanted credential plugins
