<DIV><FONT face=Verdana size=2><SPAN class=432490823-05082004>We have a set of
Zope applications that handle their own authentication using Zope. We also
have a number of web applications using Java and Python CGI scripts and we would
like to have users that have been authenticated through Zope to be able to
access them without having to log in again.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

class=432490823-05082004></SPAN></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana size=2><SPAN class=432490823-05082004>So the question
is, can Zope set cookies as part of its authentication mechanism? And what are
the strings in these cookies.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Verdana size=2><SPAN class=432490823-05082004>There is also the
reverse question: If a user gets authenticated through another application
and has cookies set on his/her browser, how we can we use these "3rd party"
cookies to authenticate a user in a Zope application?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

Thanks</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
