What is betahaus.emaillogin?
The use of emailaddress are speading more and more but Plone does not have a convenient way to use a users registered email address to login.
betahaus.emaillogin makes it possible to login using the email address specified in the user profile.
Plone has a very powerful and modifiable authentication system called Pluggable Authentication Service (PAS). As the name suggest the system is pluggable and thus can easily be extended by third-party products such as this.
How it works
betahaus.emaillogin is at installation put first in the list of extraction plugins. If an email address is specified and a corresponding user is found. The email address in the request is replaced with the username and then simulates failed extraction to continue normal login procedure.
