Re: [Zope] XUF and Postgres
Hi Garth. Yes, it is very compact compared to XUF for sure. Thank you for this feedback. I will be evaluating this option as well. There are differences in licensing that may be a factor in what I decide to use after some evaluation. BSD with XUF compared to MIT with SimpleUserFolder. I have tended to stick with ZPL and BSD only sources. I try to learn from GPL-like sources as opposed to using them in my code. This may be a factor in my decision despite the fact that SimpleUserFolder may be smaller and simpler to implement.

Re: [Zope] XUF and Postgres
Hi David We are using the combo, although in a very plain form. We use a custom table for users and have implemented any additional functionality in our own way. So we use XUF/pg for handling security in Zope. This works on global roles, assigned in the table record, but also with local roles assigned to users in the ZMI. Nice thing is: You can add multiple instances of XUF in different folders all pointing at the same pg table. Summarising: We like XUF a lot, but do not use most of its advanced stuff. We have had no security or performance issues (but then our Postgresql server has RAID and 2 CPUs). Also, Andrew Milton (author) is very helpful in answering questions on the mailing list.
