[Zope] Why GUF or Loginmanager??

2000-11-30 Thread brocken22

Hallo,
I'got a fundamental question:
Why should you switch from the built-in authentication mechanism to a
product like GUF or Login-manager??
Except of the different login interface, I dosn't see any advantage??
Please correct me.
What I'm looking for is a product that redirects the authenticated-user to
the part of the website where he has got his "home-folder" and also nice
wolud be a search-function which gives an administrator a list of all the
users with all the roles in the system.

You can choose the storage for your userdata yourself, 
which may be practical for i.e.

- huge user base and/or you also like to store adresses etc. easily.
- adding/changing users through mechanism outside of zope
- verifying users through mechanism outside of zope 
  (ie. apache's various mod_auth_*) for tasks outside of zope 
  (try to stream a .rm-file only to built-in authenticated users)


cheers.
