Probably a better name for InternalPrincipal would be PrincipalInfo. BTW, you should really read the README.txt file carefully again, especially where it talks about principal creation at authentication time.

This:
from zope.interface import directlyProvides
pau = getUtility(IAuthentication)
for plugin in pau.authenticatorPlugins:
if directlyProvides(plugin, IMyMarkerInterface):
pfolder = plugin
Seems to me to avoid embarrassment when there are two authenticators in
the stack in pau and you can't guarantee the position of the one you want.
I think...

Ok, so the way above is the way to go?
Why is the principal class folder specific?
BTW: Why does z.a.authentication.principalfolder.InternalPrincipal does not
implement z.security.interfaces.IPrincipal? Or let
z.a.authentication.principalfolder.IInternalPrincipal derive from IPrincipal?

Basically, your application should know the location of the Authentication
Utility and the name of the principal folder. Also note that the principal
class is principal folder specific.

[Zope3-Users] Best way to add a Principal to PAU
Hello,
I've managed to add a principal to a principal folder inside a PAU:
pau = getUtility(IAuthentication)
pfolder = pau.keys()[0]
principal = InternalPrincipal("def", "pwd123","a title", "a description")
pfolder["def"] = principal
but I doubt that the most elegant way. How can I achieve do it more or less
agnostic form the principal source (or a least from the name and ordinal
postion inside PAU)?
Thanks,
Florian
