[Zope] sync Zope userids with Apache userids?

[Patrick Diamond]

Hi

Currently I have an apache server which has an authentication database
containing some 50,000+ userids with associated groups. My question is how
do I best (in this case quickest) enable Zope, which is connecting thru the
apache server,  to use these userids. The userids are stored in a mysql DB,
using this DB directly would be great but copying it into Zope regularly
would be fine. Any ideas?

Thanks
