``Products.PluggableAuthService``
=================================

Purpose
-------
The PluggableAuthService is designed to allow incorporation of *any*
existing user folder (or related technology), and to make it
simple to define project-specific extensions.

Theory of Operation
-------------------
The PluggableAuthService defines a framework for a set of plugins which
it orchestrates to generate user objects from requests.  These user
objects implement the "traditional" BasicUser API, and provide
additional functionality.
