[Zope] RE: [Zope-CMF] mysqlUserFolder and CMF

[Norman Khine]

Hello Dieter,
Yes, I have a working copy of mysqlUserFolder, and as suggested by Shane, I
created a Portal with the internal acl_users folder, which I then deleted
and replaced with the acl_users (MySQL Folder) -- authentication and session
managment works pretty well -- although I ma not sure how will the load on
the db be effected once it goes on the live system.

Can you tell me the reason they use the internal methods as per your comment
and why is it bad.

Thanks

Do you already have a working "mysqlUserFolder"?

If so, just plug it in. It may work although the CMF uses
internal methods of the "User" and "UserFolder" objects
rather than the official API (which is bad, but I understand why
they do it nevertheless ;-)).
