Description: User Folder workalike and replacement for Zope
LoginManager is a User Folder workalike and replacement which solves the
"N * M" problem seen with previous User Folders. Because of its
PlugIn-based architecture, it will almost never need to be subclassed to
implement custom functionality. (For more information on the PlugIn
system, see the Products.ZPatterns.PlugIns module source.)
.
LoginManager uses two kinds of PlugIns, the "User Source" and the "Login
Method". User Sources provide an interface to an arbitrary store of user
records. A LoginManager may contain multiple User Sources, and will
search them in user-defined order until one returns a valid user object.
.
Login Methods are responsible for examining a REQUEST for identification
and credentials. They are also indirectly responsible for authenticating
the user. In most cases, they simply call user.authenticate(), passing
the credentials (typically a password) they extracted from the REQUEST.
A single LoginManager may contain multiple Login Methods, which are
tried in user-defined order, and the result of the last Login Method is
used. (Most Login Methods simply return the result of the previous Login
Method if it had already validated a user. But the sequence is chained
to allow for voting, multi-credential requirements, etc.)
