Hello,

I want to authenticate users from acl_users with my own HTML form and a pyt=
hon script.
I can't use user._getPassword() because it's an internal method.
and it seems user.authenticate function calls browser authentication again.
How could I achieve this?

This is the code I use:

*************** ZPT "form" ***************
...
        <form action=3D"login" method=3D"post">
          <table class=3D"form">
            <tbody>
              <tr>
                <th class=3D"text">Name: </th>
                <td><input name=3D"user" size=3D"12" maxlength=3D"12"
value=3D""></td>
              </tr>
              <tr>
                <th class=3D"text">Password: </th>
                <td><input name=3D"password" type=3D"password" size=3D"12"
maxlength=3D"8" value=3D""></td>
              </tr>
              <tr><td>&nbsp;</td></tr>
              <tr>
                <td align=3D"center">
                  <input type=3D"reset" value=3D"Clean">
                </td>
                <td align=3D"center">
                  <input type=3D"SUBMIT" value=3D"Submit">
                </td>
              </tr>
            </tbody>
          </table>
        </form>
...
*********************************************

*************** Script (Python) "login" ***************
request =3D container.REQUEST
RESPONSE =3D  request.RESPONSE
user =3D container.acl_users.getUser(request.user)
try:
    if user.authenticate('the_password', request):=20
        print 'OK'
    else:
        print 'FAILED'
except AttributeError:
    print 'User doesn\' exist'
return printed

Thanks in advance,
