<DIV><SPAN class=757292120-05012004><FONT face=Arial size=2>We are running Zeus
as the webserver and using Zope extensively. Everything works wonderfully
except for one major thing. In order to password protect a directory we
have to setup the users and groups in Zeus and therefore we are unable to use
things like SimpleUserFolder with some python/zsql scripts to auth users for a
specific website's members folder.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=757292120-05012004><FONT face=Arial size=2>We have a PostgreSQL
DB setup with a table called users. In that table are various columns
(username, password, etc.). We have a folder in the site called members
and we need to make sure that no one can access anything inside the members
folder without first authenticating through a page that contains a login form
(type in username and password, click the submit button, the system auth's from
data within the db and either lets the user in or return a page that says sorry
the login and password don't match, etc.).</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=757292120-05012004><FONT face=Arial size=2>How do I accomplish
this? Zeus seems to allow either explicitly defining the users/groups from
within the Zeus management interface OR allows you to use an LDAP server.
There is nothing regarding using a DB to hold the user info. Perhaps I am
just missing the correct way to make this happen?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
