<font size="2"><font face="Arial">If it's possible to use a existing

<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.zope.org/Products/PluggableAuthService/">http://www.zope.org/Products/PluggableAuthService/</a> 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.<br>

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