Has anyone done > this before? I haven't tried this (but I might this weekend if I have time :-) but the exUserFolder product has an option for etcAuthSource. You might be able to use that. It would require replacing the aclUsers folder of the plone site with an exUserFolder that uses the etcAuthSource. The readme doesn't mention shadow passwords so you may want to check www.zopelabs.com or do a google search for other suggestions. Also you may want to post this to the local Zope user group (TCZPUG) mailing list for more suggestions. Just remember that Plone authentication is just Zope authentication and you should be able to find some documentation on that process. There are several "alternate" auth products out there.
