I'm creating a python product - which needs to be authenticated; and I
dont want to use any products that does not come with a clean Zope install
- so I user Simple User Folder and define two roles admin user and
ordinary user. I just want a user to login via login form, check username
and password with the acl_users user list and set the user to
AUTHENTICATED_USER if username and password is correct. Actually I just
want to access the methods which the pop-up authenticator use when one
does /manage. To me it looks like validate() from AccessControl/User.py does this for
you, but Im not
sure how to use the method.
