[Zope] LoginManager or exUserFolder

That's a bit disappointing, but understandable. I see CoreSessionTracking is
going in (nice).

One thing I was also curious about was SSL in ZServer (with client
certificate auth support - LDAPfolder integration, hmm, tasty), and possibly
even the IE5 (and Mozilla, when the work is done) GSSAPI-compatible
authentication support. There's a PyGSS module that would do that nicely,
although I doubt it would work behind Apache/PCGI very well...

I might take a look at this november-time. Would there be any momentum to
get things like this into the core?

Regards,
Phil

Nope.  Well, at least not in the foreseeable future (see the 2.5 roadmap 
at http://dev.zope.org/Resources/zope_250_plan.html).  It appears to be 
a wildcard at this time.
