I am making a small application for sales and marketing reports in-house.
Each user has a unique login/username in zope (via NtUserFolder) and they also
have a unique employee_id in exisitng SQL database tables.
Each page calls numerous SQL methods almost all of which need to know the
employee_id number.
I can make a small method getEmpID(request.AUTHENTICATED_USER) and map the
logins to the employee_ids, but then I am calling that at least once every page.
I could call getEmpID(request.AUTHENTICATED_USER) once when the user logs in and
then set it in a cookie or a session variable but I am unsure of the possible
security issues in doing that.
Or I could start using the zope/NT login as the key in various sales and
marketing tables.
Just thought I'd *throw it out there* for any input, thanks.
