Thinking about Kevin's idea (2).
What if I make plone export to the right mysql table
(auth_user, DATABASE_NAME 'myapps' for example) the fields:
id | username | first_name | last_name | email | password
| is_staff | is_active | is_superuser |
last_login | date_joined
Should it work right? Except for one thing that I didn't figure out yet how
to solve: field password which in plone is raw and if django db should
be hashtype$salt$hash.
Any comments?
