Hi there, thanks for your replies. Yes, Malcolm, I am reading this doc and following some discussion about ldap authentication, but Kevin got the right point.
I will read more about backend authentication in django and then I will check in plone (even plone-list) about ideas besides the ones Kevin mentioned. At first, Kevin's idea (1), we have something similar here for another portal application, but not really secure since it write down to a file (just the users) and then granted access to users who in that list (but it's not real authentication since the user is not specified). And AFAIU Malcolm, if using (1), I still need to use django api to create the object user (if plone external method returns TRUE), right? Well, let's see what can I get first.
