[Zope] passing HTTP basic auth info

The password for an logged in user is not available from DTML - if 
you really want it, you'll have to write a python external method.

Look at AUTHENTICATED_USER._getPassword()

(note that you can't call it from DTML, as it has a leading _)

See if you can't figure out a nicer way to do this, though - for
instance, how does the OWA server store auth info? Is it a cookie?
Can you make Zope create the cookie instead (with a domain of 
.your.domain.com)?
