Some information about this package: Package: zope-loginmanager Priority: extra Section: web Installed-Size: 196 Maintainer: Mike Goldman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Architecture: i386 Version: 0.8.8b1-1 Depends: zope Filename: pool/main/z/zope-loginmanager/zope-loginmanager_0.8.8b1-1_i386.deb Size: 25970 MD5sum: 78b005847aa38fd53f2e71f87424f6f1 Description: User Folder workalike and replacement for Zope LoginManager is a User Folder workalike and replacement which solves the "N * M" problem seen with previous User Folders. Because of its PlugIn-based architecture, it will almost never need to be subclassed to implement custom functionality. (For more information on the PlugIn system, see the Products.ZPatterns.PlugIns module source.) . LoginManager uses two kinds of PlugIns, the "User Source" and the "Login Method". User Sources provide an interface to an arbitrary store of user records. A LoginManager may contain multiple User Sources, and will search them in user-defined order until one returns a valid user object. . Login Methods are responsible for examining a REQUEST for identification and credentials. They are also indirectly responsible for authenticating the user. In most cases, they simply call user.authenticate(), passing the credentials (typically a password) they extracted from the REQUEST. A single LoginManager may contain multiple Login Methods, which are tried in user-defined order, and the result of the last Login Method is used. (Most Login Methods simply return the result of the previous Login Method if it had already validated a user. But the sequence is chained to allow for voting, multi-credential requirements, etc.) -- Martin Michlmayr [EMAIL PROTECTED]
