Yep, that can be expected from the naming, but really, zope.app.authentication is just one of implementations, like z3c.authenticator and we need a package that contains IAuthentication interface & co. that are currently contained in zope.app.security. I think that there's no better name for that package than zope.authentication. > I think that at least some of the bits in zope.app.authentication could > be factored into something like zope.pluggableauth though. I agree. However, may be the better name is zope.pluggableauthentication? Anyway, that can be done later. There's no need to touch zope.app.authentication to do zope.app.security refactorings, when zope.password is now extracted -- WBR, Dan Korostelev _______________________________________________ Zope-Dev maillist - Zope-Dev@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )
