[Zope-dev] storing passwords

[Markus Bengts]

Sorry to keep spamming this list. I just want to present a solution if
someone browses the archives.

I installed exUserFolder. And in pgAuthSource.py defined

def remoteAuthMethod(self, username, password):
	to use a Z SQL Method

instead of

remoteAuthMethod=None

It works.
