ZServerSSL provides a HTTPS server for Zope. In normal operation, ZServerSSL protects user names, passwords and data in transit against eavesdropping. This release adds X.509 certificate-based authentication for Zope. In this mode, Zope is run in remote user mode, and ZServerSSL's HTTPS server is configured to require user certificates. Given valid user certificates and mappings from certificates to Zope users, Zope no longer requires passwords for access. This improves site security by removing the need to store passwords on the Zope site. Bundled with the latest snapshot of M2Crypto.
