It appears that the database of my client is not accessible. They
can provide me an excel file with the members.
The intended application actually is an election. It is a one time
thing. Every member is using this application once, and presumably not
all of them. Would it still be unwise then to put these 25000 accounts
in an ordinary acl_users folder?
You could import the users in a database (like mysql) and authenticate
with a PAS plugin. Performance wise it could be really slow to have 25K
users in a userfolder.
I found this userfolder today as well :
http://www.simplistix.co.uk/software/zope/simpleuserfolder. You could
easily write a ZSQL method for authentication for this (it's easier than
writing a PAS plugin). If you have time or resources to write a PAS
plugin I suggest to invest some time for that.
Martijn.
