[Zope] LoginManager broken?

[Phil Harris]

Phil,

Something that bit me when using the howto you referenced.

When creating the methods, as soon as the authenticate method is created the
LoginManager starts using it, but since the other methods don't yet exist it
starts generating errors with the result that you are locked out of the
LoginManager and any folders secured by it.

My solution was to create all the methods needed but with bogus names, such
as by sticking an x as the first character of each.

This way you can test each in isolation and when satisfied that they are
correct, rename them all in one fell swoop.

Ipso facto, presto magico you have a working LoginManager.

I've tried this procedure on 2.2.x with various versions of
LoginManager/ZPatterns and it's worked every time.  The latest Zope I've
used it with is 2.2.4.

hth
