Right. What would be a suitable name for the extended interface? IMatchingPasswordManager? I've committed a revision that implements this as an extension to the existing interface: http://zope3.pov.lt/trac/changeset/120458/zope.password/trunk but that's easy enough to change. I've also found that the SHA1 scheme in zope.password uses the {SHA1} prefix, which is incompatible with LDAP and AccessControl.AuthEncoding, which both use {SHA} instead. I'll change zope.password to support {SHA} as well, defaulting to that prefix. >> What version of Zope2 can start using the >> new AccessControl package with a "zope.password >= 4.0.0" dependency? > > This depends on the changes in AccessControl and how backwards > compatible they are. > > If backwards compatibility is preserved, this can go into Zope 2.13 > and trunk, since we allow minor feature additions in the stable > series. Zope 2.12 is at a 2.12.15 release now and at the end of its > lifecycle - it'll only see bugfixes. It'll be backwards compatible. I'm planning to keep supporting legacy schemes registered with registerScheme, with listSchemes listing zope.password managers as well. The only thing that could perhaps be removed are the SSHADigestScheme and SHADigestSCheme classes, as these will be completely redundant with zope.password support. -- Martijn Pieters _______________________________________________ Zope-Dev maillist - Zope-Dev@zope.org https://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - https://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce https://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )
