[Zope-dev] GenericUserFolder available for beta

[Stuart 'Zen' Bishop]

I've uploaded GenericUserFolder for testing, feedback and general mirth.

    http://www.zope.org/Members/Zen/GenericUserFolder/

I won't be requesting it to be cataloged until I get some feedback from
people playing with it - authentication is fairly complex task, and although 
I have done testing here, I'd rather get some external feedback before it ends
up reducing production sites to smoking rubble.

People may also be interested in ZRadius (which is cataloged). This product
just handles bare-bones authentication at this stage - all that I need.
I'll probably depricate it if any fuller Radius products become
available. It has only been tested on my Merit radius servers.

Brave souls should look at the source code, in particular the comments
in validate() and _recurse_validate(). I'm unsure why the workaround in
validate() is working, or even required, but I have a custom information
system to have prototyped by Friday afternoon so I'm just happy I have
an environment the little darlings will be able to login to :-)
