Hi, Souheil Chelfouh initially extracted the pluggable auth utility from zope.app.authentication to zope.pluggableauth to not have all the browser views and this principalfolder implementation. In Dolmen http://www.dolmen-project.org/ (set of libraries you can use with Grok to build a small CMS), we have our own principal folder plugin implementation http://pypi.python.org/pypi/dolmen.app.authentication which is based on dolmen.authentication and zope.pluggableauth. And you have an example of a User content type in: http://gitweb.dolmen-project.org/menhir.contenttype.user.git Vincent Fretin _______________________________________________ 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 )
